The IAFC is now accepting nominations for the IAFC Fire Chief of the Year Award through June 9. Since 1996, this prestigious award has recognized one volunteer and one career fire chief for their leadership, innovation, professional development, integrity, public service and contributions to the fire service.
The IAFC presents the Fire Chief of the Year award in proud partnership with Pierce Manufacturing. The program’s media partner is FireRescue1 by Lexipol.
All of a nominee's fire service activities and accomplishments will be considered; special emphasis will be placed on the period from 2020 through 2022. A nominee's command role at a major emergency incident, while relevant, will not be enough to place that individual into contention for the award.
