VCOC Conference

The IFCA-VCOC hosts one of the only conferences in the Midwest tailored for the education of volunteer and combination fire officers and members. There are many great conferences out there; however, very few focus on the specific topics important to the officer/members who are leading the very dynamic structure of a volunteer and combination departments.
