There will be plenty of opportunities for fun and learning for the whole family, so make sure to secure your tickets today. 

AAFC 2024 Conference

The 2024 Alabama Association of Fire Chiefs (AAFC) Annual 2024 Conference will be held at the Perdido Beach Resort in Orange Beach, Alabama. From August 4-7, visitors will be able to experience a variety of speaker events, networking opportunities, food vendors, and recreational events. These three days will be filled with a wide variety of informative sessions from Fire Chiefs and first responder personnel from across the state. One of the notable speakers includes Steve Kerber, Vice President and Executive Director of the Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI). With only a few days left, make sure to register before time runs out!

If you are in the area, these two conferences are must-attend events for those involved in the firefighting community. These conferences provide a platform for individuals from various crews and battalions across the state of Alabama to come together and share resources and insights on everything new in the firefighting community.
