When FMAM asked ICBO to replace their IFCI board member, they said they would do nothing and wouldn't tell us why. When we request him, he comes. As to the question whether IFCI will remain, Ray explained that it is a member-driven organization. He went on to give a history of the origin of IFCI as a bridge between fire and building code services. Since 1995 the Board of Directors has been meeting with the ICC and Western Fire Chief's to decide where to go.
Many groups say they represent the fire code.
IFCI has every reason to be around and bring the fire and building services together. IFCI is making all of ICBO's fire service appointments. IFCI has a bright future and has a good business plan. Jan Gasterland, who is a former chairman of ICBO but is no longer active, spoke. He discussed that the IFCI board member may not have been testifying in the legislature as an IFCI board member.
