Second In Command Workshop

Due to inclement weather, the upcoming TFCA Fire Administrative Professionals Workshop originally scheduled for January 25-28, has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a future date. The new date has not yet been determined and will be announced soon. 

The safety of our attendees, speakers, and partners along with the families and communities that rely on them is our top priority. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we navigate this change. Additional details, including the new workshop dates and next steps, will be shared as soon as they are finalized. TFCA respectfully requests that you allow us a couple of weeks get this event rescheduled before requesting a cancellation. If you previously cancelled, we hope that you will be able to join us for the new dates. 

If you booked a hotel reservation for the event, please reach out to the hotel to cancel the reservation to avoid any potential cancellation fees. 

Thank you for your continued support of TFCA during this unprecedented weather event.

January 26-28, 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.
