FDSOA is thrilled to announce the 2025 FDSOA Health, Safety, and Apparatus Conference, set to take place at the stunning Tradewinds Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida. This year, FDSOA is bringing “Safety to the Beach” with an exciting and unique conference experience that combines both the Health & Safety and Apparatus tracks into one dynamic event.

Join us from January 13-17, 2025, for an incredible opportunity to connect with industry leaders, gain valuable insights, and explore the latest innovations in fire service health, safety, and apparatus. The conference kicks off with two days of pre-conference workshops on Monday and Tuesday, followed by a mix of engaging classes, breakout sessions, and keynote presentations on Wednesday and Thursday.

We are proud to welcome renowned keynote speakers Frank Leeb, Jeremy Donch, and Paul Darley, who will share their expertise and inspire our attendees with forward-thinking perspectives on fire service safety and apparatus.

Despite recent challenges from a second hurricane affecting the region, we are pleased to report that the Tradewinds Resort is making remarkable progress in repairs and will be fully operational to welcome us in January. Our team has been in constant communication with resort management, ensuring that the venue will provide the perfect setting for this highly anticipated event.

The energy in St. Pete Beach is bright, and we look forward to gathering together to share knowledge, strengthen connections, and celebrate the dedication of our colleagues across the fire service.
