About us
The Connecticut Fire Photographer's Association was formed in 1975. Our primary mission is to assist the fire service by documenting the amazing work performed by the state's firefighters. The association meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month except for July and August.

Fire, rescue, and EMS operations can occur at any time. That is why CFPA members are ready to respond twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. They are mainly alerted to incidents by either pagers, that are able to receive several notification networks in our state.

A host location is needed for the April 9th meeting.
Please contact Kenny if your dept can host the meeting.
