FireFusion Ignites Unprecedented Success in Its Inaugural Year Dates Announced for FireFusion 2025
December 16, 2024//Nashville, TN — FireFusion, presented by Firehouse magazine, was
a resounding success in its first year, bringing together experts in fire technology with
fire service leaders from across the nation for three days of learning, networking, and
engagement. Taking place November 5-7, 2024, at the Charleston Gaillard Center in
Charleston, SC, post-event survey results showed that 84% of attendees rated
FireFusion as the most unique fire service event they had ever experienced, citing the
exceptional content, location, and intimate format.
“We are thrilled with the success of FireFusion and feel honored that we were part of
facilitating meaningful learning and knowledge-sharing on emerging technologies that
are truly transforming the future of the fire service. From our thought-provoking
speakers to the vendors who participated in the Marketplace to showcase their
products and services, FireFusion provided a valuable opportunity for fire service
leaders to hear about how technology can impact their operations and how others are
applying it to their departments,” said Bill MacRae, VP/Group Publisher, Firehouse.
Focused solely on technology in the fire service, the intimate format of FireFusion
provided a highly engaging platform where attendees could exchange insights, ideas,
and perspectives on current challenges in their departments. As advances in
technology dramatically change the landscape of strategic and tactical operations and
decisions on the fireground, FireFusion brought together top visionaries and
influencers to share their knowledge, experiences, and inspirations.
FireFusion additionally featured the Marketplace, providing attendees with an
opportunity to meet with vendors and suppliers to get first-hand looks at new products
and technologies. Guided tours offered during the event were sold-out, including the
Charleston Incident Command Simulation Lab, the Charleston Sofa Super Store Fire
site, and a leadership development walking tour.
“I was excited to see the engagement and information sharing between the attendees
and the Marketplace vendors who were looking for solutions in their fire department
today and to improve it in the future,” said Peter Matthews, FireFusion Conference
Director and Editor-in-Chief of Firehouse. “One attendee I spoke with just three weeks
after FireFusion shared how they took several low-cost ideas from a session that were
easy to implement and were using them within two weeks of returning from Charleston,
improving their training programs.”
Locating FireFusion in Charleston, where the department lost nine firefighters in the
tragic 2007 Sofa Super Store fire, provided an impactful opportunity to honor the
Charleston 9 while showcasing the efforts of the Charleston Fire Department and the
region in advancing firefighter safety and health through the application of technology.
The event took place at the world-class Charleston Gaillard Center, an exceptional
venue featuring the finest in history and Southern hospitality. Attendees were treated
to a truly unique experience featuring the finest in all that Charleston has to offer.
FireFusion 2025 will return to the Charleston Gaillard Center in Charleston, SC, starting
with pre-conference guided tours on October 13, followed by the main program
October 14-16, 2025. For more information, visit www.firefusionconference.com.
