Uniting Northern Illinois Fire Protection Leaders
Building stronger districts through collaboration, education, and advocacy.
The Northern Illinois Alliance of Fire Protection Districts (NIAFPD) was established in 1989 to unite and support Fire Protection Districts across Northern Illinois. The Alliance promotes collaboration, shares resources and knowledge, and offers educational programs tailored to member needs.
NIAFPD also serves as a unified voice for its members, advancing legislative initiatives and addressing issues that impact Fire Protection Districts. Through events like the annual IFSA Legislative Summit, members work together to strengthen fire protection services across the region.
NIAFPD’s Upcoming Annual Conference
Join fire protection district leaders, commissioners, and professionals from across Illinois for the NIAFPD’s 33rd Annual Conference, taking place February 6–7, 2026, at The Westin Lombard in Lombard, Illinois.
This year’s conference will bring together experts and peers for two days of education, networking, and collaboration focused on the latest developments in fire service leadership, governance, and operations.
Whether you’re new to the NIAFPD community or a returning attendee, this event offers valuable insight, practical tools, and the chance to strengthen connections that support safer and more effective fire protection across Illinois.
