Also exclusive to FRI are these events:
  • Executive Edge: Small class instruction from fire service veterans
  • A live demonstration of a proven inter- and intra-state fire, EMS and special operations mutual-aid system
  • Coaching courses through the Chicago Coaches Federation

FRI also is unique in that it affords you the opportunity to expand your professional network of fellow chiefs and officers from across the U.S. and Canada and around the globe. By making contacts with people who understand and appreciate your issues and challenges, you create a network of peers you can share ideas with and reach out to for assistance, guidance and mentoring now and for years to come.

Visit Chicago. Never before has it been so easy and affordable to attend FRI. Chicago is easily accessible, whether you're flying or driving, and at secured hotel rates that can't be beaten for Chicago - and cost less than what you'll find at other national fire service conferences.

If you can attend only one fire service show this year, make it FRI. It's a new FRI in Chicago-come experience it for yourself!
