About the "new" CTIF.org:
The recent undertaking to rebuild and improve CTIF.org was started in the summer of 2017 as a collaboration between Slovenian web designer Zan Vidmar and fire-journalist and videographer Björn Ulfsson.
Discussions about rebuilding CTIF.org and to work towards more professional news production has been been ongoing between Tore Eriksson and Björn Ulfsson since 2012.
Björn Ulfsson, Terri Casella and Tore Eriksson have been working together since 2008 on media productions for the training and education of firefighters.
The new CTIF.org was officially launched on February 1st 2018. The "old" CTIF.org page, which was retired from the internet on February 1st 2018, is now archived and can be accessed by clicking here
