Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the fire and emergency services field, this conference is the perfect place to connect, learn, and discover the latest industry innovations.

Here's a list of just a few as you plan out your own time at the show… Emergent Fire & EMS Software and Emergency Technical Decon (Booth # 3916) Emergent is your go-to destination for innovative solutions in fire and emergency services. Their focus is on delivering cutting-edge technology to improve operational efficiency and safety. At their booth, you’ll find demonstrations of their latest products, including advanced firefighting equipment and technology designed to enhance emergency response capabilities. Emergency Technical Decon shares the same booth, providing top-notch decontamination and biohazard management solutions. Their live demos will show you how to keep your team safe and compliant with regulations, making this booth a one-stop shop for crucial tech and safety solutions.

This nationwide public safety network is built with first responders in mind, ensuring robust and reliable communication during emergencies. Their demos will show you how FirstNet is enhancing coordination and operational efficiency, making it a must-see for anyone interested in public safety communications. Pierce Manufacturing (Booth # 3303) Just steps away from Emergent and Emergency Technical Decon, Pierce Manufacturing is another booth you can’t miss. Renowned for their custom-built fire trucks and innovative equipment, Pierce’s display will give you an up-close look at some of the most advanced fire apparatus around. Their commitment to quality and safety makes them a leader in the industry. Stationwise (Booth # 1805) Next on your list should be Stationwise.
