I, as a member of International Organization of Fire Photography, agree to strive at all times to
upgrade and improve my knowledge and skill of fire photography and related areas.
I will subscribe to the following Code of Ethics set forth by the International Organization of Fire
Photography (Fire Photo):
1. Fire photography, integrating aspects of photography with the fire service, is worthy of the
highest levels of professionalism.
2. Members will strive at all times to produce fire related images in accordance with the highest
levels of professionalism.
3. Members, as fire photographers or friends of fire photography, have a unique opportunity to serve the public and all members should maintain
high levels of honesty and integrity.
4. Members will balance the rights to inform the public of newsworthy events with the rights of privacy of those we interact with.
5. At all times, members will maintain an altruistic, or selfless, concern for the welfare of others.
6. Members will not use any business practice which violates any state, federal, or international law, rule or regulation.
7. In all interactions with fire related scenes, or enroute, members shall at all times exercise noteworthy safety practices and at no time directly

related photography.
9. Members will support efforts for and assist in the interactive platforms and education of all interested persons in the art and science of fire

10. Understanding that these Code of Ethics cannot prejudge every situation, members will exercise common sense and good judgment when
