20 Firefighters and EMS providers to be awarded free full admission passes to FDIC 2026
ARLINGTON, TX, UNITED STATES, February 19, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- “Training is one of the foundational pillars of FAC, and this scholarship is one more step to advance our goal of bringing best-in-class training to the firefighting community.” – Mike Gagliano, president of Firefighter Air Coalition (FAC)
The Firefighter Air Coalition is proud to announce the launch of the 2026 Firefighter Air Coalition FDIC Scholarship. This new initiative will provide free, full conference passes to 20 firefighters, and EMS personnel to attend the industry’s premier training event, the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in 2026.
FDIC International is the largest conference and trade show for the fire and rescue industry in North America, with more than 40,000 fire and rescue professionals attending from around the world.
As the Education Director for FDIC, I am proud to participate in this program. With numerous individuals funding their own way to conferences, this program eases the burden and provides yet another opportunity for our nation's firefighters to participate in extremely high quality fire and EMS education. It also provides opportunities to experience one of the greatest gatherings of fire service culture in the world,” said David Rhodes, Editor in Chief Fire Engineering / Education Director FDIC
The FDIC brings the fire service to life. It not only provides invaluable training and networking opportunities but also serves as a platform for recognizing and fostering the next generation of fire service leaders. By participating in this prestigious event, scholarship winners will gain access to cutting-edge knowledge and hands-on experiences that will shape their careers and enhance their contributions to the fire and rescue community.
Scholarship winners will choose from more than 200 classes and workshops, including hands-on training (HOT) events.
