| Greetings from the Fire Commission, my staff and I want to take a few moments to invite you to our upcoming commission meeting in Jackson, TN at the Madison County Fire Department on August 6th and 7th. The work session and regular business meeting agendas are located on our website at http://www.tn.gov/fire/commFireFighting.shtml for you to preview. In addition, if you are unable to attend the meeting in person, we also have a link to view the regular business meeting over the web provided by TFACA. This meeting will start at 9:00 central time on August the 7th. Also, while you are on our website, be sure to look over the new items related to Acadis Web-Forms found under Educational Incentive Forms. The PDF presentation “How to submit your In-Service Training Programs” will walk you through the process. Remember your 2015 In-Service Programs are to be submitted through Acadis Web-Forms by November 1st of 2014. In addition, there are new fillable forms available for Educational Incentive Pay and a new Excel spread sheet for the 2014 training year along with step by step instructions on “How to Submit Forms in Acadis”. Lastly, we plan to launch several new Web-Forms and go to electronic submission for all test applications both written and practical in early August. However, we will still need you to submit your prerequisites through Acadis, E-mail or Fax to our office. Our goal is that once prerequisites are submitted, is that you would not have to resubmit them in the event of a retest. If you have any questions concerning these changes, please feel free to contact our office or one of our Coordinators. In closing, it is an honor and a privilege to serve Tennessee’s Fire Service.

Director
