The Virginia Fire Chief's Association has adopted the Firefighter Life Safety Advocate Program and placed it under their Health and Safety Committee. This is great news for all emergency service providers in our state. The details of the task group have not been ironed out but it is important for the Firefighter Life Safety Advocate Program to have a home and have a seat at the table.

This will allow us to coordinated statewide Life Safety Advocate Programs in each region of the state and to coordinate legislative proposal and other actions in a cooperative and effective manner.

More details on Firefighter Life Safety Advocate Program task group to follow.

Coordinating new Life Safety Advocate Program activities and documenting model initiative actions by members of the Courage to be Safe Team. We will be opening up statewide advocate positions by region in the state as well.

If you are interested in stepping up to the challenge of being an advocate email Tom Schwartz.

I will be sending updated calendar of events, initiative programs and training dates after replies are received.
