Attendees will learn about the major types of skin cancer, why melanoma is particularly dangerous, and why EMS professionals may face increased risks from sun exposure. The session will cover realistic sun-protection strategies for EMS personnel, the ABCDEs of melanoma, the importance of routine skin exams, and how early detection can save lives.

Join the Michigan Association of Fire Chiefs on Monday, February 22, 2027, for our Legislative Roundtable.

This important event brings Michigan’s fire service leaders together with state legislators from MAFC's Region 3 area for meaningful conversation about the issues, priorities, and challenges facing fire and emergency services across our state.

The Legislative Luncheon provides an opportunity to connect with lawmakers, share the fire service perspective, and help ensure our collective voice is heard in Lansing. By coming together, we can strengthen relationships with those who shape public policy while highlighting the needs of the departments, personnel, and communities we serve.

We encourage fire service leaders from across Michigan to join us, be part of the conversation, and help represent Michigan’s fire service at the Capitol.
