National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM)
NCOAA is proud to launch the CO Safety Coalition at NASFM’s 33rd Annual Fire Prevention & Safety Symposium. NASFM's Mission Is Two-Fold: 1) To protect human life, property and the environment from fire. 2) To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of State Fire Marshals' operations.
The membership of National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM) comprises the most senior fire officials in the United States. State Fire Marshals' responsibilities vary from state to state, but Marshals tend to be responsible for fire safety code adoption and enforcement, fire and arson investigation, fire incident data reporting and analysis, public education and advising Governors and State Legislatures on fire protection. Some State Fire Marshals are responsible for fire fighter training, hazardous materials incident responses, wildland fires and the regulation of natural gas and other pipelines.
International Fire Marshals Association (IFMA)
The International Fire Marshals Association (IFMA) Member Section offers a fantastic opportunity to network with other experts responsible for the prevention of fire, the investigation of fires, and/or public fire and life safety education programs.
