What is AFSS?

Historically,  AFSS has served as a resource network for fire service administrative professionals. In 1985, an information group of new Fire Chiefs gathered to discuss the meaning of that position and the assumption of authority in a formal organization. They decided to form an informal group to act as a sounding board for each other. In 1986, their secretaries were invited to attend a meeting and, as a result, many of those attending discussed the idea of forming a networking group of their own. In 1988, the framework of the current formal organization was begun. By-Laws were written and adopted and the first Executive Board was elected.

In 1989, the Administrative Fire Services Section (AFSS) was officially recognized as a section of the California Fire Chiefs Association, and a vast professional networking nucleus was formed for all fire administrative support personnel.

The mission of the Administrative Fire Services Section is to support and empower administrative professionals to develop and strengthen administrative operations in fire service organizations throughout California.
