The Connecticut Fire Photographers Association Inc. (CFPA) was founded in 1975 and reorganized in 1979. The CFPA is very unique with specific goals and objectives. Our membership is comprised of men and woman, many of who have a direct connection to either paid or volunteer fire departments in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, or Rhode Island. Others are professional or amateur photographers who share the mutual feeling that we can achieve “Greater Fire Protection Through Photography”.
We have the opportunity to assist many of the volunteer fire departments, the Hartford Fire Department and other paid departments with our photographic abilities. While many of our photographs depict the devastating effects of fire, others show the dedication and never ending danger that firefighters face each and every time they respond to a call.
We believe that by capturing these events and by having them available for fire departments, we can enable them to critique a fire scene, save for future reference and we are documenting history. When we display our photographs to the public we can help them realize that there is a dire need for an increase in fire prevention on their part. It also serves as a reminder of the unknown dangers that every firefighter must face.
Our specific goals and objectives are as follows; (form the CFPA by-laws Article II)
