The Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs (OAFC) recognizes the important contributions that individuals make each and every day toward fire and public safety. They strive to be engaging and inspiring leaders, contribute to the community in which they serve, lead by example, and positively influence others. They are dedicated and proud to serve their community.

It is only fitting that they are celebrated for their commitment, contributions, and going above and beyond. Being recognized also motivates future generations to work hard towards improving and enhancing fire and public safety.

The OAFC invites you to identify worthy candidates who inspire others, demonstrate initiative and innovation, and make a difference.
