So that the Fire Agency Specialties Team (F.A.S.T.) can maintain a high level of efficiency and preparedness for emergency response situations, its members must meet certain requirements. In order for you to be considered for membership on F.A.S.T., your department must be a member of the F.A.S.T. organization, and you must have written permission from your fire chief or your department's highest ranking administrator. Once active, you must meet further requirements to maintain active status. These include completion of technician level training and certification in hazardous material (hazmat) operations. In addition, after becoming a member, you must also attend a minimum of 50 percent of all drills conducted by F.A.S.T. and go to at least one F.A.S.T. conference. You may qualify for alternative credit for drills by proving previous experience in actual hazmat emergency response. If you fail to meet minimum requirements you will be considered inactive, and the director of your team will be notified. You will be placed back on active status only after you complete the training necessary to meet the minimum requirements. A training calendar and schedule will be distributed to all applicants. Training will take place the third week of each month. Classes will be taught on Monday afternoons, Wednesday evenings, and Saturday afternoons.
