Committee assignments within the Pennsylvania Career Fire Chiefs Association are intentionally fluid. This approach encourages meaningful conversations, fosters collaboration, and allows us to focus on making real improvements for the betterment of the Pennsylvania fire service.

Our goal is to identify practical solutions, share ideas, and work alongside the Pennsylvania fire service organizations that are leading the way in advancing the profession. By collaborating rather than working in silos, we can support positive change, strengthen the fire service across the Commonwealth, and continue our shared commitment to protecting the communities we serve.

If you are interested in serving on a committee, we encourage you to get involved. Please contact Chief Clifton Laughman, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Career Fire Chiefs Association, to express your interest. We welcome members who are committed to contributing their knowledge, experience, and ideas as we continue working together to strengthen the Pennsylvania fire service and keep our communities safe.
