More than a Campus Fire & Life Safety Forum – it’s Family Getting Together! 

Our focus on Campus Fire & Life Safety is what has made our annual forum so successful over the years.  

We’re the right size and we're focused and when we get together … it’s more than an Educational Forum - it’s family!   We learn, we network both during the Forum and all year long as CCFS Members. We leave with answers and the realization that many of us share the same issues on campus ... that's the bond.

We are all part of the same family with the passion and dedication to save lives.
