Certified Fire Marshal Training

A Certified Fire Marshal has the authority granted to the State Fire Marshal in South Carolina Code of Law 23-9 when they are acting in their official capacity within their jurisdiction. In order to apply for state certification, Certified Fire Marshals are required to have an ICC or NFPA Fire Inspector I or higher certification and attend the SC Fire Marshal's Rules and Regulations Course (SCFA Course 8610). Application for Certified Fire Marshal is made in the SC Office of State Fire Marshal Information Management System (IMS).

The S.C. Fire Academy offers a Fire Code Test Preparation Class (SCFA Course 8612) to help students prepare for ICC exams. If you have questions about SC Fire Marshal Certification requirements or training, please email FMCertificaiton@llr.sc.gov.
