A GREAT TRAINING OPPORTUNITY

As many of you know for many years (more than I like to think about) I have been conducting training for fire departments throughout the country. The recession of 2008-9 required most departments to pull back on their training budget. Since then fire departments have continually reduced their training budget to the point that there are no training funds available. This is unfortunate because other than emergency response, training is the single most important functional priority.

Now that the recession has been declared over, fire departments are starting to rebuild their training budgets. The Firehouse World Conference in Los Angeles is a great and inexpensive opportunity to increase your knowledge on a plethora of topics. The conference is in March 2019.

Whether you have attended Firehouse World last year or haven’t attended at all, the conference will provide a smokin’ hot event, with new educational tracks, training and exhibits that address trending issues in today’s fire service. This year’s program includes:

  • First time Labor/Management conference session developed by IAFF/IAFC
  • Mobile integrated healthcare summit fire service update
  • Big deal of the day- Major incidents and lessons learned that have shaped the fire service. This includes the Santa Monica Fire Department Kansas Street mass shooting incident
  • Mechanics clinic, developed by the California Fire Mechanics
  • Expanded EMS conference sessions all eligible for CECBEMS
  • First time topic of the day and fire chiefs panel discussion
  • College credit is available at no cost

In addition CSFA members save an additional $75! If you register by January 17, 21019, you will receive both the $60.00 early registration discount and an additional $75.00 exclusive discount for registering for the conference.

Hope to see you there.
