FEMA SID REQUIRED FOR OSFM 24 BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2026

Beginning October 1, 2026, all Fire & Rescue personnel using OSFM 24 will be required to have a valid 10-digit FEMA Student Identification (SID) number associated with their account.

What should you do now?
Locate your FEMA SID and have it ready for October 1. Please do not update your FEMA SID in OSFM 24 before October 1. Because OSFM 24 is not currently configured to accept leading zeros in the FEMA SID field, most users should expect to enter their FEMA SID beginning October 1, even if they have previously provided a FEMA SID to OSFM.

If you already have a FEMA SID but don't remember it, do not create a new one. Retrieve your existing SID from FEMA. If you have never been issued a FEMA SID, you can register for one through FEMA.

Remember, your FEMA SID must be 10 digits. If you have an older SID with fewer than 10 digits, add zeros to the beginning.

Example: 1234567 becomes 0001234567

FEMA SIDs are issued and managed by FEMA. OSFM staff cannot create or look up FEMA SIDs.

Please share this information with Fire & Rescue personnel across North Carolina.

Incentives like this should be the standard everywhere for volunteers! - Montgomery County, Virginia, has approved a significant personal property tax incentive aimed at strengthening its volunteer fire and EMS system. Volunteers who contribute at least 200 hours annually will receive a reduced vehicle tax rate of $1 per $100 of assessed value, a 60% reduction from the standard $2.55 rate. County leaders hope the incentive will improve recruitment, retention, and volunteer engagement. The move comes as the county faces increasing demands from population growth and a declining volunteer workforce, prompting the hiring of 50 career emergency responders since 2021 and discussions about building three additional stations.

A very influential show that helped greatly in th creating the EMS system of today and helped create quite a few Firefighters like me. Jason 1.

Randolph Mantooth, best known for his role as Johnny Gage on Emergency!, has sadly passed away at the age of 80.
Rest in peace, and thank you for the memories. ❤️
