Firefighters’ Prayer:
When I am called to duty, wherever flames may rage, give me the strength to save a life, whatever be its age. Help me embrace a little child before it is too late, or save an older person from the horror of that fate. Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout, and quickly and efficiently to put the fire out. I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me, to guard my every neighbor and protect his property. And if according to God’s will, I must answer death’s call, bless with your protecting hand, my family, one and all. AMEN.

Elect Jack Parow 2nd V.P. IAFC in 2008

Candidate’s Profile
Candidate’s Platform
I believe in the mission of the IAFC and the execution of goals and objectives through the IAFC’s bi-annual strategic planning process. Furthermore, we need to focus our energy on firefighter safety and wellness, fire prevention and code strengthening, federal legislation, proper funding of the National Fire Academy, EMS issues and volunteer and call firefighter retention.
Because of the rapidly changing environment we operate in, it is important that the IAFC become the "go to" organization on all fire related issues and truly become the voice of the fire service in the international arena. To be successful, the IAFC must become an even more membership driven organization. We can accomplish this by reaching out and listening to the Divisions, Sections and Committees as well as the State and Provincial Fire Chief Associations. Working for the entire membership needs to remain a top priority. Hopefully, we can create an organization that is seamless from the local to the international level.
In the past, the IAFC has elected strong leadership into office. I feel that I have the knowledge, experience and commitment to continue that trend. My pledge to you is that I will work hard, represent the entire membership and be an ambassador for the IAFC. I ask you for your vote and support. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at
chiefcfd@aol.com.Fire Rescue International 2008 will be held August 14 - 16 , 2008 in Denver, Colorado
The New England Division is staying at the Denver Marriott City Center.
