Mission
The Keystone Chapter Fire Service Instructors is a non-profit organization formed to establish and promote an on-going organization of instructors which will work toward goals of the fire service, and provide effective and continuous leadership to fire instructors across the state.
We also provide an information clearinghouse and policy development body for fire service matters and act as an organized voice of the fire service within the boundaries of the Chapter.
We are affiliated with the International Society of Fire Service Instructors and the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy.
