Annual Public Safety College

The Eastern Carolina Public Safety College, held each year in October, is sponsored by the Eastern Carolina Firefighters Association and Cape Fear Community College. The Seminar had its beginning in 1991 with seven classes offered that weekend at Fort Fisher. Attendance that weekend was around 110 students. The next couple of seminars were offered at Fort Fisher and at each one the attendance kept increasing to the point where we could no longer use that facility because of the growth. It was decided to move the seminars to the main campus of Cape Fear Community College in downtown Wilmington and the seminar continued to grow through the years. In 2001 the decision to move the seminar to the Topsail High School complex in Hampstead was made to be able to accommodate the increased growth to over 500 students. This location was used until the 2007 seminar which was moved to the new North Campus of Cape Fear Community College at Castle Hayne with 36 classes and attendance of 665 students. This is a state of the art fire training facility. Attendance varies but remains steady at this fall offering.

All Eastern Carolina Firefighters and Public Safety personnel are encouraged to support the Association by attending the Eastern Carolina Public Safety College each year. Our scholarship program is directly funded by this great school. We hope to see you there!

2023 Public Safety College dates:  October 3 through 8.  More information at https://cfcc.edu/public-safety/fire-rescue-and-emergency-management/

Come on East! Let’s make sure the BEST region has the most representation!!!Mark Your Calendar & Plan to Attend NC Fire Service Legislative Day

When: Wednesday, May 3, 2023, 8am

Where: NCSFA Office Building, 323 W. Jones St, Raleigh, NC 27603

The day will begin with a briefing at 8am, passing out of materials and a group photo. Following the group photo we will walk to the Legislative Building for visits to discuss our top legislative priorities this year. It is a good idea to call your Representatives and Senators to let them know you will be coming by. Once you have made your visits, please join us back at the NCSFA Office Building for lunch from 11am to 2pm.

As always, we are grateful for the participation of our members in the NC Fire Service Legislative Day. There are few things more powerful than a strong showing of our members in uniform walking the halls of the Legislative Building each year. We encourage you to bring someone with you who has never attended before and show them the difference our voices can make when we all work together.

To see a list of our legislative priorities and the bills we are tracking, visit this link: ncsfa.com/category/2023-legislative-session

Fire Service Legislative Day 2023 Parking Information:

There are two options for parking on Legislative day this year and both are free.

Option 1:

Parking in the NCSFA Office Building Parking Garage is available at no charge. You enter the parking garage off of Harrington St. You may park in any numbered parking space on or above level 1A that does not have a reserved placard on the wall. Click this link for directions to the NCSFA Office Building: tinyurl.com/NCSFAOffice

Option 2:

Parking in an open parking lot diagonally across from the NCSFA Office Building (beside the Metropolitan Apartments) is available at no charge. Once you enter the lot and park, you will scan the QR Code on the sign leading into the lot, select the amount of time you will be in the lot and when it comes to pay for the space just enter the promo code fire and it will zero out the amount owed.
