About Us
On January 14th, 2014 the Fire Chiefs of St. Tammany Parish and the City of Covington formally met to discuss the state of Fire and Emergency services in the community; from that meeting an outline for a strategic plan was created.
Over the next four months fire officials and subject matter experts met by committee to create a plan to address the pressing issues involving the fire service in St. Tammany Parish. From these meetings and the great body of work that came from them, the inspiration to formally unite as a parish wide association of Fire Chiefs developed.
On July 8th, 2014 The St. Tammany Fire Chief's Association was formed, officers were elected and by-laws officially adopted. The St. Tammany Fire Chief's Association is a group of fire service professionals representing each of the thirteen fire departments in St. Tammany Parish.
The St. Tammany Fire Chiefs Association is a perpetual non-profit corporation of Louisiana.
