Appeals Process

Appeals Process Appeals to any certification issue shall be made to the Board and submitted within one (1) year of the date of the original action. Such appeals may be initiated by an individual or through the executive fire officer of the local fire-fighting unit. Once a written appeal has been filed, the individual may petition the Board in person at a regularly scheduled meeting of the MSCB. Upon hearing the basis of the appeal, the chair may forward the appeal to appropriate committee for further investigation and a recommendation for action. The Board will communicate its final decision in writing within thirty (30) days following any action taken on the issue.
