Fire Chief Joseph Guarnera was recently tapped to serve on the Professional Development Committee of the International Association of Fire Chiefs. In his position, Guarnera will promote education and training for firefighters around the planet.
“Education in general is something that I’m a great warrior for,” he said. “Whether it’s in the fire service, police service, EMS — it doesn’t matter — you never know enough. You can always learn more.”
Guarnera pointed out he is also on the Professional Development Committee of the Fire Chiefs Association of Massachusetts, and is an original member and one of the Chairs of the National Professional Development Committee of the National Fire Administration at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Md.
“I’m part of the group that writes fire curriculum for the country,” he explained.
