CALLING TREE

At the Fire House of Delegates meeting held 10-21-06, at Annual Conference, much time was devoted to discus-sing the major fires that had occurred throughout the state this past year which caused many concerns and questions to surface related to response by outside departments to these events.

"To provide a unified voice for the fire and rescue services across the state, to provide advice and guidance pertaining to legislative issues, to encourage education and training within the fire/rescue service and to promote a communications network across the state.”

You can make
a difference!
