"There is only ONE association that is in the field at 'grass
roots' level in EVERY state in the Union and that
association is the NFSA. ONLY the NFSA's  Regional
Operations system can have an industry representative
and spokesperson at a legislative meeting, a fire scene, or
in a code official's office within hours! To me that alone
has to be worth the dues!"
