Illinois Task Force on Firefighter Life Safety

Throughout the last year, a task force has been working on the advancement of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation’s 16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives (see sidebar and www.everyonegoeshome.com). It was decided recently that the Task Force will become a sub-group of the Illinois Fire Services Association (IFSA) and work is being done to make that happen. The committee structure will include Co-chairs, Chief Ralph Webster (Woodstock) and Division Chief Al Schlick (Wauconda) and Secretary, Cynthia Leighton (Motorola).
The main mission of the Task Force is to advance the 16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives and improve firefighter safety in Illinois. The mission will need to be accomplished through phases, which will begin by getting the word out that the Task Force exists, and that we are working to improve firefighter safety.
