Missouri State Statute RSMo 320.202 states the State Fire Marshal and the Division of Fire Safety shall be responsible for “the voluntary training of firefighters, investigators, inspectors, and public or private employees or volunteers in the field of emergency response, rescue, fire prevention or preparedness and establishing and maintaining a voluntary training and certification program based upon nationally recognized standards.” The Division of Fire Safety’s Training and Certification Unit serves as the state’s certification authority and establishes minimum curriculum requirements in accordance with NFPA Professional Qualification Standards.

 Many individuals have influenced Missouri’s Fire Service throughout the years. One such fire service legend passed on October 13 after a battle with cancer. Tom Behrendsen, 70, of Liberty died at North Kansas City Hospital.
Tom began his fire service career as a volunteer fire fighter and then as fire fighter in Liberty. After the Missouri State Fire Marshal’s Office was formed in 1973, State Fire Marshal Bob Morrison asked Tom to become one of the first five investigators in the state. Tom was also one of the founders of the Professional Fire and Fraud Investigators Association and a recipient of the Harry Hansen Memorial Award for achievement in fire investigation. |
