Congratulations to the Iowa Firefighters Association on the passage of SF 2086 - a Junior Fire Fighter program that allows for high school juniors and seniors to complete FireFighter One training and become certified before graduation. This will be extremely valuable to both volunteer and career departments with recruitment efforts across the state.

With Kent Brix, IFA President, and Mike Kime, IFA 1st Vice President
