With over 32,000 visitors from 59 countries, FDIC 2016 was the largest in the 89 year history of the event. Exhibits ranged in every aspect of the fire service including information and gear relating to apparatus, apparatus accessories, protective clothing, SCBA, tools, nozzles, hoses, pumps/gauges, accountability devices, station alerting, ropes and chains, and more.
HPFD Training Division went to class early in the week to learn new ideas about training for the fire ground and new principles and technology in fire department training.
The trade expo portion of the show is a great way for fire department employees to network and learn about new technology within every aspect of the fire service.
