Fire Chief's Resource Symposium

Deer Creek State Park; Mt. Sterling OH

The program is made available through the generous support of the Dominion Foundation. This two-day program provides the Fire Chief with a basic tool box of information, resources, and contacts that he/she can use to provide a solid foundation towards the operation of a successful fire department. It also serves as an opportunity to introduce the Fire Chief to the Ohio Fire Chiefs’ Association and the Ohio Fire & Emergency Services Foundation and the many services and benefits the Association and Foundation provide to its members.  The symposium will be held in conjunction with the annual OFCA Board Retreat. This will allow OFCA Board members to serve as instructors and the opportunity to spend time developing a mentor-type relationship with the Chiefs in their respective districts.

The two-day program will include the following modules:

  • Legal Issues                             
  • Ethics                                        
  • Working with Elected Officials

  • Resources of the OFCA & Professional Development
  • How to Get Fired & Roundtable Discussion 

Program cost is $50.00 and is non-refundable. A one-night stay at the lodge and meals on Saturday and Sunday are covered by the Association and accompanying grant. The program is held on a weekend basis (Saturday and Sunday). Attendees may come in on Friday evening but any Friday costs are the responsibility of the attendee.  Upon successful completion of the program, participants will receive a one-year, complimentary membership to OFCA.
