President's Message

Welcome to North Carolina Association of Fire Chief's website.  I hope all had a very Merry Christmas and that your 2010 is off to a great start.
 
We all wish to send our deepest condolences and continue to remember the family of Lieutenant Flip Kissinger of the Raleigh Fire Department and to all of those who have lost love ones during this special time of the year. 
 
As we begin a new year, the North Carolina Association of Fire Chiefs Board is dedicated to serve you. We hope to make this year a prosperous year for the fire service. As Fire Chief's we must do all we can do to protect our personnel and citizens. We can accomplish this by training our personnel to be the best, implementing physical fitness programs for our member, and by supporting legislation that will require residential sprinklers. While it has been adopted by the International Code Council, we must make sure it stays in the North Carolina Building Code.
 
As the New Year begins we are gearing up for the North Carolina Association of Fire Chiefs Mid-Winter Conference. Your conference has continued to grow and we wish to thank each of you for your support of the conference - without you we would not be successful. This year's conference will be February 4-7 at Wrightsville Beach.  We have some top notch speakers scheduled, and full details are available on our website (www.ncafc.com). We hope you are making plans to attend this year's conference and we are looking forward to our 2011 conference being held in Concord, home of the Coca-Cola 600.

 
We also want to encourage each of you to get involved with this Association. We must all work together for a common goal  - to keep the fire service in North Carolina the best we can be and having other states look up to North Carolina as a leader in the fire service?
 
If I or any member of the board can be of assistance please let us know, and again thanks to each of you for your support of this Association.  God Bless!
 

 

Yours in service,
 
Frank Burns, Chief
City of Kings Mountain
