One of the primary goals of the Life Safety/Community Risk Reduction Section of the VFCA is to establish better communication with local fire officials and to ensure a safer commonwealth through our combined efforts. The Virginia fire service has seen many challenges over the past few years with the fire code adoption process, the need for better training for fire marshal’s and concerns for safety in school buildings. This section strives to be a stronger voice in the Virginia code change process, and work with partners to bring a clear and professional voice to fire safety concerns in Virginia.
