Leading Through Change In A Virtual World
We’ve just wrapped up our participation in the IAFC’s Fire-Rescue International (FRI) Conference, which shifted to a virtual format in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the event was originally scheduled to take place in Phoenix, the transition to #VirtualFRI and the ReIGNITE Conference proved to be a powerful and timely adaptation.
Through live sessions, section meetings, and on-demand content, we were able to connect with fire and emergency service professionals from around the world during a critical time for public safety. Despite the shift online, the experience remained rich with insight, innovation, and collaboration.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations about leadership, emergency preparedness, and the evolving role of technology in the fire service. FRI 2020 reaffirmed our commitment to supporting first responders with forward-thinking tools and dependable training solutions—regardless of the format.
