Fire Service Activities
 The
Fire Service Activities
Team ("Team Fire") was developed to provide
an unimpeded conduit between the ICC and the Fire Service
to enhance communications, assure robust input from the Fire
Service and provide a strong ICC presence across a number
of fire service venues. ICC's "Team Fire" supports
and assists the efforts of our constituency to adopt and implement
all of the I-Codes, but, in particular, the International
Fire Code. In addition, the team serves as the face of
ICC to the Fire Service, assisting them in accessing the myriad
of services offered by our organization, including training,
interpretations, plan review services, etc.
It is the goal of Team Fire to work diligently with the larger
ICC team in bringing our organization and the Fire Service
together on issues of common interest. After all, the Fire
Service is a full partner in ICC. We support the missions
of all of the ICC departments and divisions by exposing the
fire service organizations and individuals to the high quality,
cost effective solutions we have to offer.
The team's activities include participation in the International
Association of Fire Chiefs and their eight geographic divisions
and the Fire & Life Safety Section; we are a member of
the National Association of State Fire Marshals and support
that organization in their quest to bring fire safety to their
states; we are members of the Congressional Fire Services
Institute, and we serve on their National Advisory Committee;
and we routinely sponsor a one or more tables at the CFSI
Annual Emergency Services Dinner. In addition, the team members
participate in activities of fire service organizations on
local, state and regional levels. We readily provide information
to groups in the form of presentations, teleconferences, or
meetings, as requested by our members.
Each of our Fire Service
Managers have had career fire service experience and use
their general knowledge and abilities in working with the
diversity of our country's Fire Service. To date, the International
Fire Code has been adopted across the country and is in
use at the state or local level in 33 States as well as in
Federal agencies.
