Online Basic Structure Fire Suppression

Before filling out the application, you will first need to request your FIDO pin number.

FIDO is the record keeping system the Texas Commission on Fire Protection uses to keep up with your certifications. Your FIDO number is very important in the Fire Service. Please write it down and keep up with it. It is your identification number for TCFP.

You may click here to begin the FIDO pin # process. Choose “Create Account” and follow the prompts. Be sure and use a current, valid email address that you can easily access. Your pin# will be sent to that email address. When you need to access FIDO in the future go to https://auth.tcfp.texas.gov/account/login .
