The Washington Fire Commissioners Association was established in 1948 and provides major research and legislative representation for Washington State fire districts. Although membership in the WFCA is voluntary, approximately 88 percent of the 382 fire protection districts in the state of Washington currently participate as dues paying members. The association is managed by a 12-member board of directors elected by the membership.
