It’s the way IFSTA manuals have been written and validated since 1934. The process to produce new and revised IFSTA manuals is a collaborative effort between the staff members at FPP and IFSTA subject matter experts who are assigned to the validation committee for a particular manual. IFSTA validations committee members are a diverse group of subject matter experts from all areas of the fire and emergency services community who volunteer to review draft chapters for new and revised IFSTA manuals.
