What makes the F.I.E.R.O. Fire Station Symposium the best choice?

• It’s the original station design symposium. It was developed by fire service personnel and is run by fire service personnel.

• Our speakers include many fire service personnel. They know what works and what doesn’t.

• Attendees get a CD of handouts from the presentations to take home and use for future reference.

• Our “Station Design” awards program is judged by six fire service personnel with degrees in architecture.

• Our judges for the “Station Design” awards program come from all across the country.

• We offer a wider array of topics--something for first-timers as well as something for returning attendees.

• We offer many door prizes from our exhibitors.

• F.I.E.R.O. is a non-profit fire service agency. All money generated from the symposium goes into next year’s symposium.
