Membership in The Center for Campus Fire Safety continues to grow Nationally ... and Internationally!

This truly is YOUR CENTER/YOUR CCFS … as a non-profit, actually the only non-profit dedicated completely to campus fire safety, we do NOT own CCFS, all our members do.   As a member, this is truly your CCFS.  So, please join us at the Forum, and/or during our Webinar Wednesday's and Campus Coffee Break Presentations, and our FirePro Round Table Discussions.  Help us by contributing your expertise and volunteer for newsletter articles, presentations and more.  This is Your CCFS.  If you want to get involved, simply visit our website or contact [email protected]

Become a CCFS Member - if your vision is to help eliminate the loss of life and property associated with campus related fire incidents ... then consider membership.

  • CCFS is the nation's leading resource for public fire and life safety education on college campuses.
  • CCFS Members are Fire Marshals, Fire & Life Safety Managers, Fire Inspectors, Fire & Life Safety Educators, Fire Chiefs and their staff, as well as members from industry, associations and organizations related to fire and life safety.
  • We are also growing our newest membership - for students interested in fire and life safety.
  • CCFS provides works to assess and promote proposals for changes in national model codes, industry and reference standards as they relate to college and university infrastructure.
  • CCFS provides educational materials and training programs that promote, expand and strengthen campus fire and life safety.
  • CCFS believes total fire protection relies on a “balanced” approach.  We encourage schools to upgrade their fire safety through market forces and legislative efforts that will result in incentives to provide higher levels of fire & life safety.
