From the President

Welcome

I welcome you to the Marine Corps Aircraft Firefighting and Rescue Association (MCAFFRA). In the late 1970s, our association was formed by a group of Vietnam War-era crash crew Marines to be able to reconnect with those they served with.

We strive to be the first place Marines that have served as Aircraft Firefighters come for camaraderie and information. … The Marines of crash crew are the fuel that drives the association as well as the glue that holds it together.

Semper Fi!

Isaac ‘Ike’ R. Diehl
