ESCI is recognized as an expert in the field by the emergency services community.  This is confirmed by their ongoing relationship with the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), the United States Department of Defense, the Western Fire Chiefs Association, the Florida Fire Chiefs Association, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, the Washington State Association of Fire Chiefs, and the National Volunteer Fire Council.

The KLFR&EMS District Board is expecting the Final Report in the 1st quarter of 2007.
