It is our mission to provide collaboration and direction to the Hennepin County Fire Chiefs, along with their key personnel, our mutual aid partners, and the various organizations which supports the fire service. We support our vision through education, information, services, and representation with the goal of enhancing our capabilities and professionalism.
The Hennepin County Fire Chiefs Association (HCFCA) was founded in 1961 in the spirit of cooperation with a vision of continuously improving the emergency response organizations operating within Hennepin County, Minnesota.
The HCFCA has in place a “County Wide Mutual Aid Agreement” that supports the needs of all member cities and fire departments, both big and small. This mutual aid agreement allows and encourages the use of mutual aid assistance by all participating fire departments within the county. Within the mutual aid assistance agreement, HCFCA also provides special Fire Cause and Determination Investigation Services through its Fire Investigation Team.
The HCFCA leadership and its members view the organization as a progressive county wide association that has both the leadership and vision to be in the forefront by providing the best possible public safety services for our residents and visitors.
