Metropolitan Fire Chiefs

The Metropolitan Fire Chiefs Committee was organized in 1965. In October 1996, it was established as a section of NFPA.

The purpose of the Metropolitan Fire Chiefs Association is to bring together the highest-ranking officer from every eligible metropolitan fire department to share information on issues of common interest, drawing upon available knowledge, varied experiences, and innovative practices in order to enhance Metropolitan Fire Chiefs’ role in fire protection and all-hazards initiatives.

In coordination with the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Metro Fire Chiefs' vision is to provide exemplary leadership focused on continually improving fire and emergency medical services and Homeland Security initiatives in order to effectively protect and serve the metropolitan communities of our respective nations.

The mission of this section is to ensure the highest level of quality fire, EMS, and specialized services in our metropolitan communities through leadership, action, and partnerships with all levels of government.

The Metropolitan Fire Chiefs Association is limited to fire chiefs having a minimum staffing strength of 400 fully paid, career fire fighters. The fire chief must also be a member of NFPA and the IAFC.
