The MAFC Listserv is a method of communicating via email for subscribing members. Members send an email to the list email address, and software distributes that email to all subscribers of the list.

The type of emails sent out via the Listserv varies but concerns the Michigan fire service either statewide or regionally. Over the years, there have been job postings, retirement party announcements, and conversations dealing with Michigan issues such as the fireworks training fund.

Moderation of the MAFC Listserv requires the approval of each email or email response before distribution to the subscribers. This moderation allows us to keep an eye out for bots who, from time to time, attempt to send out unsolicited advertisements.
