Section Chair's Welcome Letter:
WFC Public Fire Educators is a section of the Washington Fire Chiefs, representing nearly 100 departments throughout the State of Washington. WPFE is dedicated to the reduction of injuries and lives lost due to fire and other hazards through prevention programs.
WPFE Goals:
- The promotion of professional interaction with the citizens of Washington State.
- The standardization of comprehensive educational materials and programs throughout the State of Washington.
- Cooperative development and planning with other fire service divisions, WFC Section and other related organization.

Members learn together and from each other. Sharing resources and ideas is the mainstay of this organization. We strive for standardization of concepts to serve our communities more effectively and we encourage creativity to personalize and enhance our audience appeal.
Educational opportunities are provided at minimal cost to ensure that public educators are prepared to develop, present, and evaluate their programs - not to mention inspired to present them!
