Since 1909, the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC) united fire service leaders, associates and their provincial/territorial and national level affiliate organizations. Joining the CAFC is the best way to build a strong national fire service and have a voice both inside the CAFC and the fire service. This year the CAFC has more membership benefits to offer than ever before. Scroll down for a glimpse into 2021. To view our membership categories, please click here.
