When a fire department suffers the loss of a member, either on-duty or off, it is often difficult for the department members to cope with their emotions and the need to help the family.

The IFCA will supply officers to help the department with the planning and arrangements of a funeral. They will assist with protocols to honor the memory of the fallen firefighter. They will work with the department to allow members to perform any roles they can.

For more information, contact the IFCA office at 800.662.0732 or email execdir@illinoisfirechiefs.org
