2011 Directory Cover Photo
The annual MSFCA Directory and Conference Program is published each year for our annual conference and membership meeting. There are multiple purposes for program:

  • Contains information directly related to the conference such as the conference agenda, facilities map and a list of educational sessions.
  • Reports from all of the association’s committees.
  • Reports from major support organizations such as the State Fire Marshal Division, Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Fire Service Certification Board, etc.
  • Contact lists for Minnesota fire service organizations and agencies.
  • An advertiser Index which lists contacts for fire service supplies, services and supporters. (The Advertisers Index is also posted on our website, and is downloadable)

The annual MSFCA Directory and Conference Program is distributed at the annual conference, and is mailed to all members of the association. The directory serves as a resource when fire officers are looking for products, services, and information throughout the year.

Donated Equipment and Used Equipment:
Both passed and were signed into law.  You now enjoy civil immunity if you donate used equipment to another Minnesota Fire Department and you no longer have to get three bids if buying a used piece of fire apparatus.

Nyle Zikmund, MSFCA Legislative Committee Chair

Turnout Gear Requested
My name is Adam Zimmerman and I am Chief of Pickwick Fire and Rescue
which is a small non-profit fire department in southeastern Minnesota.  My department has an extremely small budget and has not been successful with the AFG grant for turnout gear.  In the past I placed a request for used turnout gear and was fortunate enough to receive quite a bit of decent gear.  I have a wonderful problem.  I have people who want to volunteer however I don't have gear to issue them.  If there are any departments who have decent turnout gear available and would be willing to give it away we would be greatly appreciative of the donation.

All Types of Equipment Requested
My name is Larry Lahr. I live in Cold Spring (MN) near St. Cloud. There is a new fire department that was established in the past six months or so called the Chain of Lakes Fire & Rescue District.  The Fire Hall is located in the Richmond & Cold Spring area.  I'm helping the newly formed department find the tremendous amount of equipment that they will need.  We are starting from scratch at this point, and have only a rescue vehicle thus far (an ambulance donated by Gold Cross).

Our department is looking for equipment that other departments might be willing to donate.  Art Volker, Chief in St. Augusta mentioned that your organization was instrumental in getting a variety of donated equipment some years back when they established their department.  Would be able to notify your membership of our need? We are certainly willing to pay for items as well, but any donations will surely help insure that our firefighters are property equipped.  We are looking for equipment for both fire and rescue.
