EDITOR'S NOTE

We’re excited to be putting the finishing touches on the FireFusion conference program, bringing together operations and department leadership with technological tools, software, and programs designed to move the fire service forward.

A sampling of the topics covered in this unique curriculum of sessions include incident command, accountability and personnel management solutions; artificial intelligence (AI) for training and daily operations; drones and robotics; high-tech tools and equipment; and how technology that’s outside of the fire service affects emergency scenes. 

FireFusion takes place Nov. 5-7, 2024, at the Charleston Gaillard Center in Charleston, SC. Registration is now open, but act fast, as attendance will be limited.

Stay safe!
