Overview
Mission
To serve our members through professionalism and leadership thereby enhancing the Fire/Rescue/EMS services of Alaska.
What it reported doing in 2024
ASFA Training ConferenceThe ASFA holds an annual ASFA training Conference in conjunction with the Alaska Fire Chiefs Association(AFCA). Each year a different chapter hosts the conference in their community. The host chapter pays all conference expenses; however, ASCA will fund up to $5,000 to a chapter upon request. This amount is usually reimbursed after the conference before the profits are disbursed. All revenues generated are split evenly between the host Chapter, ASFA and the AFCA. All of Alaska benefits from this event as firefighters from all areas of the state participate in various certified fire safety training courses to further educate themselves and to better serve their communities.
