Rep. Schmidt Speaks at Illinois Fire Chiefs Association Meeting

I was honored to have received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Illinois Fire Chiefs Association – IFCA for my contribution to the 2026 Annual Illinois Fire Chiefs Association’s Volunteer/Combination Officer Conference. It was a privilege to give a legislative update to to the men and women who keep our communities safe.

The meeting was informative as we discussed concerns and needs from our first responders.

I want to thank the State Fire Marshal Fire Chief, John Winters, and State Fire Marshal Michele Pankow for allowing me to speak at this important event!
