Each spring and fall, SFFMA districts across Texas host meetings. Attending provides an excellent opportunity to stay current on fire service issues, hear what's happening with SFFMA, meet executive board members, talk with vendors, and network with other firefighters.
Many meetings offer training classes as well as elections, memorials, and games. Not to mention a meal! Check with your local district leaders on costs. And bring a friend (or three) from a neighboring department! Let's work to engage all fire departments across the state.
