From the meeting
At its July 20, 2026 notice of intended action, the Alabama Fire College and Personnel Standards Commission proposed amending the Certified Fire Apparatus Operator: Pumper rule. The change would add Certified Fire Support Person as another entry path, with a valid driver's license and the Emergency Vehicle Driver course still required. The rule is aimed at volunteer fire department recruitment and retention, so training providers and apparatus-related vendors should track how departments update certification pathways before the October 21, 2026 comment deadline.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
