SPEAKERS - we need your help!

F.I.E.R.O. is officially opening its Call for Presentations for its Annual 2025 Fire Station Design Symposium. It will be held September 21-24, 2025, again at the Hyatt Regency Greenville, S.C. 

The deadline for submittals is Saturday, November 30^th.

On Sunday, September 21, we are trying something new this year. This will be a full-day Seminar on fire station contamination. Topic areas include, but not limited to: 

·      What is contamination? 

·      What are the adverse health effects?

·      How does it get in the station?

·      What are optimal designs to minimize contamination? 

·      What are key components of a contamination cleaning area? 

·      What equipment is needed for cleaning? 

·      Diesel exhaust removal systems

·      Overview of best practices implemented and used by health-conscious departments.

·      And a KEY point for all departments—How do you retrofit an existing station to minimize contamination? We welcome case studies. 

·      Tools for selling governing bodies on the need for funding contamination control measures.

·      What are some alternative solutions to minimizing contamination, i.e., mobile units?

·      Other contamination related topics

SPECIAL NOTE: For this one-day seminar, we want you to tell us how much time (in minutes) you need to cover your suggested topic. We welcome less (or maybe more) of our typical 45-minute time slots.

And, as always: please don’t forget to offer topics for our Symposium on Monday, Tuesday, and half-day Wednesday.
