Ten years ago, I was asked to join the U.S. branch of the Institution of
Fire Engineers, but I told then-president Bill Peterson that I didn’t
feel qualified to join, as I’m not an engineer.
Peterson argued that I could still join because the organization isn’t
for “fire engineers” as the term means in the United States; the
term has a much broader definition overseas. In fact, the organization
is open to anyone involved in the fire service.
“The organization basically means the “fire service” as we know it
here in the U.S,” Bill Kehoe, the IFE’s current membership chairman,
later told me. “Anybody with an interest in the fire service in the
United States can join the IFE. We have people who are members of the
U.S. branch of the IFE who are in every category from firefighter to
city manager and everything in between.”
The IFE is based in Britain but serves as a global network for fire
service personnel and industry professionals. After I was accepted as an
associate member, I was given a world-view of the fire service with
access to news, reports and networks of progressive-minded people. Click

The outbreak of a new strain of influenza, known as H1N1 or swine flu,
has led to many questions. So the Fire Chief staff spoke to Daniel
Kaniewski, deputy director of George Washington University's Homeland
Security Policy Institute and former White House staffer under the Bush
Administration. He discussed how pandemics adversely affect our
nation’s first-responders, specifically firefighters, and hinder
homeland security operations.
