At our March 19, 2025 General Membership Meeting at Stonehill College, FCAM voted to endorse Chief Burke for this critical leadership role. Our endorsement reflects not only our confidence in his capabilities, but our shared belief that his leadership will benefit the entire New England fire service community.
Chief Burke is no stranger to leadership, innovation, or service. He has consistently demonstrated his dedication to our profession through his work as a Past President of FCAM, his active roles on the IAFC Technology Council and Communications Committee, and his continued efforts to promote impactful initiatives like the New England Technology Symposium and the Health & Wellness Summit.
Across Massachusetts and throughout the New England states, Chief Burke has built enduring partnerships, fostered innovation, and worked tirelessly to elevate the voices and needs of our departments. His understanding of the operational, legislative, and technological challenges facing today’s fire service makes him exceptionally qualified to represent our region on the international stage.
This is a pivotal moment for New England. As we work together to address issues like recruitment and retention, health and safety, technological integration, and national advocacy, we need someone who has walked the walk, knows the terrain, and is ready to lead with integrity and inclusiveness.
We urge you to join us in supporting Chief Peter Burke and to make your voice count by attending the upcoming IAFC New England Division Annual Membership Meeting.
