Oregon Fire Chiefs Association

Also known as: OFCA

A statewide association that has served Oregon's fire, rescue and emergency service leaders for over 100 years. Its members are fire chiefs and the chief officers they name.

For fire departments

  • Speaks up for its members and for Oregon's fire and emergency services, including at the Legislature.
  • Holds roundtables, an annual conference and a Northwest Leadership Seminar.
  • Runs the Oregon Certified Fire Executive program, a 17-month group program for current and up-and-coming chief officers.
  • Lists member resources such as Sourcewell cooperative purchasing and Science to the Station.
  • Posts updates for departments, such as a notice on NERIS+ and Oregon balance billing rules taking effect January 1, 2026.

Membership

Active membership ($120) is open to fire chiefs and the chief officers a fire chief designates; retired members ($25) and sustaining/vendor members ($210) can also join. Memberships run July 1 to June 30. OFCA offers a free one-year Active Member Scholarship to chief officers who have never been members, aimed at small volunteer or combination departments.
