NFIC Training
The US Fire Administration’s National Fire Information Council (NFIC) Training course (code R-490), to be held at the National Emergency Training Center (NETC), is scheduled for April 6 – 7, 2010, with travel days April 5 and April 8. The USFA’s course invitation letters were mailed to State and Metro Program Managers late last year.
As you are aware, NFIC’s finances require us to change the way we do business and sustain our organization. The NFIC Board will be meeting prior to the NFIRS training to discuss the organization’s future direction. Please take a few minutes to contact your regional representative and let them know what concerns you have and how you can help maintain the network of professionals that is NFIC.
It is important that members make every effort to attend the NFIC training. If you need any further information let me know or contact Marion Long, marion.long@dhs.gov, (301) 447-7217.
