IAFC - International Association of Fire Chiefs

Since the cancelation announcement of Fire-Rescue International (FRI) in-person conference on June 16, the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) has been working hard to determine the best course of action for FRI 2020.

Like many other associations and organizations, the IAFC is going virtual. To provide the best virtual experience that will offer unparalleled programming, interactivity, and robust virtual exhibits, we are pleased to announce that #VirtualFRI will be a two-part series of events.

On May 15, the #US House of Representatives passed H.R. 6800, the HEROES Act, to help the nation recover from #COVID19. The legislation has many provisions to assist local fire departments and firefighters, including $500 million each for the #AFG and #SAFER grant programs and waivers to the SAFER grant program to allow #firedepartments to retain and re-hire firefighters.

The U.S. Senate has yet to pass this legislation.

In this video, Chief Gary Ludwig urges IAFC members and other #firstresponders to go to IAFC.org/TakeAction and email our #Senators. Ask them to pass the #publicsafety provisions in the #HEROESAct.

The Senate will be in recess from July 6 to July 17. Use this time to call your Senators or participate in virtual town hall meetings. Explain the needs of the #fire and #emergency service.
