Second In Command Workshop

Due to inclement weather, the upcoming TFCA Second in Command Workshop originally scheduled for January 25-28, has been postponed and will be rescheduled to May 3-6, 2026

May 3-6, 2026

Inspired by the Texas Fire Chief’s Annual Workshop, this gathering is designed specifically for the Second in Command. Attendees will tackle common challenges encountered in their position and will discuss innovations and strategies used in departments throughout Texas. Past history shows that these formal and informal conversations provide dynamic networking opportunities made possible by the diverse and talented professionals of the Texas Fire Service.

Class size is limited so please make plans now to attend or send your staff who hold the Second in Command position.

This class is open to all fire service personnel who are considered Second in Command to their Head of Department. There are no prerequisites to attend this Workshop.
