FireCon 2013
September 12-15, 2013
Victoria Inn Hotel & Conference Centre, Thunder Bay, Ontario
With 300 firefighters descending to Thunder Bay, Ontario for some serious training over 3 days in mid September, FireCon has become an important part of the regional camaraderie that has developed amongst the fire service across the Northwest since its inception.
Originally focused on core fire fighting activities such as fire suppressions and search and rescue, the training programs offered at FireCon today have come to reflect the realities faced by fire departments in serving their respective home communities.
FireCon is more than just training. It is the Rendezvous of the fire service in Northwestern Ontario. The Suppliers Trade Show is where you can get on-the-spot answers to your questions regarding equipment and services from company experts. The FireCon Annual Banquet provides the opportunity to have a delicious meal, be entertained and participate in an auction to support Muscular Dystrophy.
FireCon offers a place to network and exchange knowledge and ideas, meet and hear of news from afar.
