Rob Carpenter funeral arrangements

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of long time IFAMA member and past President, Robert Carpenter.  As many know, Rob worked for Oswego Fire Department and Fire Services Incorporated as the Service Manager.

ATTENTION EVERYONE!

Wirf's in McHenry is cleaning house and was wondering if these were of any interest to someone...for free!  Contact Wirf's at  (815) 344-0464   if you're interested.

Please send me an email if someone takes advantage of this great deal so I can remove the post.

Pictures from the 2024 IFAMA Conference

Here are some more pics from the conference.

Thank you to everyone that attended the conference this year!  We are already working on the conference for 2025 so mark your calendars as busy the week of October 12 to 17, 2025. 

A special thank you goes to Eric Hall and Rick Krueger for your time and dedication in making this years conference happen.  It wasn't easy and we had some trying times but, in the words of Rocky Balboa, "We did it Adrian"!

A special thank you goes out to Jeff Bober who continuously takes time from his schedule to proctor the EVT tests.  Without you we would not have multiple dates throughout the year at which we could take our tests.

And last, but certainly not least, thank you to Mike Smollen for being our president for the last 4 years.  We thank you for your time and effort you put into IFAMA and leading us through the Covid years.

Congratulations to Ted Ellison on being elected the new President of IFAMA.  Our Treasurer, who decided to retire, ran for reelection and was reelected, so congratulations to Dan Marcinkowsi who will be starting his 25th year as Treasurer for IFAMA.

Here are a few pictures from the 2024 conference.
