We are pleased to announce the US Branch has
brokered an agreement between the Institution of Fire
Engineers and the Center for Public Safety Excellence--the
certifying body for the US Chief Fire Officer Designation (CFOD)
program--to recognize CFO designees in the IFE Member Grade

exchange and making the fire service/engineering discipline
a truly global body. There are currently approximately 500
CFO designees.
