The Nebraska fire chiefs

The Nebraska Fire Chiefs Association’s mission is to promote the fire service throughout the State of Nebraska through sponsorship of Firefighter Training Seminars and support of legislation deemed important to volunteer firefighters, volunteer emergency medical providers and the fire service in the State of Nebraska. The organization assists all fire departments by actively promoting leadership and involvement at the highest level. Through fellowship in this organization, leaders continue to learn new methods from each other to maintain well trained, professional fire departments on a local level.
