The Texas Fire Extinguisher Apprentice Permit Application is a document issued by the Texas Department of Insurance that allows individuals to receive training in the installation, inspection, maintenance, and repair of fire extinguishers in the state of Texas. This document serves as a certification of completion of the required training, and the permit must be renewed every two years. There are two types of Texas Fire Extinguisher Apprentice Permit Applications: the Basic Permit and the Advanced Permit. The Basic Permit is suitable for individuals who have completed basic fire extinguisher training and need to renew their permit. The Advanced Permit is more comprehensive and is for those who wish to become certified in more advanced fire extinguisher practices.
