combat ready fire conference

We’ve always believed there's no substitute for quality, in-person training. That's always been the foundation of what we do. Our online platforms allow for greater accessibility of our training programs, but it’s never quite the same as being in the same room.

So, we’ve decided to do something NEW and bring our core training programs to ONE location central to many of the areas we serve.

We are hosting the first-ever Combat Ready Fire Conference, bringing the principles that are at the core of everything we teach to more firefighters.

Over two days, we’ll present focused, conference-length versions of five of our core programs—connecting mindset, engine company operations, truck company operations, first alarm strategy and tactics, and aggressive command into one comprehensive approach to the fireground. Each session highlights the foundational concepts and most actionable takeaways from the full program.
