The VFCA’s mission is to advance Virginia’s fire service through leadership, education, and advocacy. The VFCA Board of Directors and I continue to work hard to serve our fire service leaders. We are proud to provide opportunities such as the Virginia Fire Officer Academy, Virginia Chief Officer Academy, Virginia Company Officer Summit and the Virginia Fire Chief’s Summit. These programs not only offer some great training, but they also allow for some outstanding fellowship and networking with both the present and future leaders of Virginia’s fire service.
