Region 5 Update


Retesting:  I have the following retesting sessions available: 

v  Tuesday, Aug 28 @ St John’s Fire Dept

v  Thursday, Sept 6 @ Colleton Co Fire/Rescue

v  Wednesday, September 12 @ Region 5 Office

v  Thursday, Sept 20 @ Lady’s Island Fire Dept

Students needing a retest should call or email me to schedule.  

4703 (Fire Officer I Special Challenge):  Students wishing to take the 4703 as part of the “special challenge” process should be aware that this includes both written and practical portions.  In the future, all 4703 students should submit their registration packets to this office directly, and will be scheduled for the last day of an existing 2100-Fire Officer I class.  

Instructors: 

Ø  When entering your teaching time in SCEIS, please be sure to list the course code/section number of the class you taught in the “details” section.  If you don’t know that information, please put “confined space in whatever department” or “recruit school in Columbia” so that I can approve the time.  I can’t approve time without that information.

Ø  If you need to make copies for your class (exams, quizzes, notes), you do not have to make these at your own expense.  Feel free to drop by my office and use the copy machine to make as many copies as you need.   If you are out of the local area and can’t get here, email me the information that you need copied for your class, and I’ll take care of it and get it to you.

Ø  Lead Evaluators:  Please remember that test boxes should only be opened once you get to class, and should be sealed immediately following your exam.  Students do notice this.
