That’s a wrap on the 2026 Fire Chiefs’ Resource Symposium! 🚒 Over the weekend of September 19-20, the Ohio Fire Chiefs' Association (OFCA) and the Ohio Fire & Emergency Services Foundation (OFESF) welcomed 18 new and aspiring fire chiefs to the scenic Salt Fork State Park for an intensive, career-defining two-day program.

Running concurrently with our annual joint OFCA Board and OFESF Board of Trustees retreat, this year's symposium offered attendees an exceptional opportunity to network directly with seasoned fire service leaders from across the state.

📚 Weekend Highlights:
• Day 1 Insights: Attendees hit the ground running with an intensive morning session on complex legal issues, led by fire service attorney David Frantz. The afternoon shifted to critical external relations, teaching chiefs to respond confidently to the press and collaborate effectively with local Elected Officials. We capped off a busy first day with an engaging Hot Topics Panel moderated by Past President Joe Kitchen!
• Day 2 Focus: On Sunday, the focus shifted to the administrative toolbox, covering essential operational strategies, including ethics, budgets, finance, data use, and information on the MARCS and the state's Emergency Response Plan.

🤝 Welcome to the OFCA Family!
Most importantly, congratulations to our 18 participants who successfully completed the course! We’re thrilled to welcome you all.

The future of Ohio’s fire service leadership is bright! 🌟
