The South Atlantic FIRE RESCUE Expo was envisioned by the NCSFA as an extension and expansion of the required annual Conference and Business Meeting in 2009.

Each summer, thousands of the most prominent fire and emergency service leaders from across North America and around the globe come to FRI to learn, network and collaborate together.

Every two years, fire fighters, rescue workers, and emergency medical workers from across the United States and Canada gather at the IAFF Convention.
