New Website for Virginia State Firefighters

– The Virginia State Firefighters Assoc. (VSFA) has long served as the champions of Virginia’s fire departments and rescue squads as well as support for Virginia’s emergency responders. Founded in 1886, with more than 13,000 members, its Fire Safety Operational Guideline has served as a model for the industry. Now their website is getting a facelift.

The website will include all Sections, Chapters, Teaching Guidelines and Participant Guidelines of the Community Fire Safety Operational Guideline as developed by VSFA under a FEMA grant. Included will be data collection and analysis tools, downloadable forms and templates, an interactive calendar, support for streaming videos, and a teaching tutorial. Aside from public pages, the site will feature proactive site management through password protected areas.

Content will feature comprehensive, illustrated community fire safety tips by category for participants and firefighter instructional guidelines to implement community programs for schools, personnel and various community groups.

A special feature will allow firefighter associations – nationwide – to register and access the Instructional Guideline to share with their own firefighters and communities.
