The BUGLE

As our 114th Annual Conference & FIRE 2020 Expo approaches, NYSAFC staff continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 24, NYSAFC is proceeding with FIRE 2020 as scheduled from June 10-13 in Syracuse. The safety of our attendees, vendors, and volunteers is our top priority, so we are working closely with The Oncenter to ensure that proper sanitation precautions are in place. The pandemic is a rapidly evolving situation, and we encourage you to watch the NYSAFC website and our social media channels for the most up-to-date information on our programs. In the event that NYSAFC is forced to cancel FIRE 2020, we will make that determination no later than May 8. Attendees can email questions to NYSAFC at conference@nysfirechiefs.com and exhibitors should email FIRE Show Management at fire@naylor.com. Thanks for your support and stay safe as you serve your communities.

As NYSAFC staff monitors the COVID-19 outbreak, we will provide notifications on social media, our website, and via email concerning the status of all currently scheduled training programs and events. Some Seminar Series programs have already been postponed and will be rescheduled for later this year. As this is a developing situation, keep an eye on our events and training calendar for updates.

The Nominations & Elections Committee has announced the slate of candidates and voting guidelines for the NYSAFC election, which will be held during the 114th Annual Conference (if necessary).
