EDITOR'S NOTE

The theme for the 2024 Safety Stand Down is “Fire Training: Back to Basics,” which emphasizes the importance of training by reinforcing proper strategies and tactics with a focus on the fundamentals. 

Safety Stand Down, to be held June 16-22, 2024, is a joint initiative of the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) Safety, Health and Survival Section, the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC), the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®), the Fire Department Safety Officers Association (FDSOA), and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). 

Stay tuned to www.safetystanddown.org for more information and resources in the months leading up to the campaign. 

Stay safe!
