How Can You Help Promote Firefighter Life Safety?

Spring of 2011 the Ohio Advocates with the NFFF played a large role with the Society as they traveled our great state and provided L.A.C.K. training during our regional instructional development seminars.

The Society would like to thank:
Rick Best, Steve Kimple, and Ron Terriaco for a great job and lots of good education!

The OSFSI would like to thank our key corporate partners!
