A UFC 2000 update class is being proposed for late January or early February in conjunction with Contra Costa Fire. Chief Larry Thude working on details.

New instructor is being confirmed for 40 hr. State Fire Training Public Educator Class. Tentative dates still in January, in conjunction with Fairfield Fire.

Bill Greene asked for input regarding the curriculum for the Title 19 and Title 24 courses (A single New 2 day course will focus on the lesser known/lesser used items in those regulations.) Specifically he wanted opinions as to the total number of days that the class should be taught. The public education committee and I discussed two days vs. three days. The consensus was two days.
