F.I.E.R.O. (Fire Industry Education and Resource Organization) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, organization operating under the guidance of an all-volunteer Board of Directors comprised of members with a rich fire service history. F.I.E.R.O. exists to improve firefighter health and safety and accomplishes this through educational conferences and workshops and participation on research projects. It is best known for its Annual Fire Station Design Conference, which it pioneered in 2000, and its annual PPE Symposium. Both events are highly acclaimed for professional presentations and being well-run events. No department should start to plan a new fire station or major renovation without “knowing what to know” as the complexities are growing each year. The F.I.E.R.O. Station Symposium provides that information. In fact, it is where architects come to learn. The world of PPE is ever-changing and the PPE Symposium provides unbiased information from researchers and the fire service. No vendor infomercials are allowed.
