Special Registration Programs Available at FIRE 2011

The NYSAFC Public Education Committee is pleased to announce a FREE training workshop for public safety educators – "Successful Smoke Alarm Projects: What You Need to Know." NYSAFC received funding from the U.S. Fire Administration to provide smoke alarms to local fire departments for use in community projects. All fire departments represented at this training will be eligible to receive a free supply of smoke alarms that must be installed during the summer of 2011. This is a great opportunity for fire departments and safety educators to learn the latest about conducting successful smoke alarm projects. This program is free but class size is limited. Registrants will also receive three One Day Passes for the FIRE 2011 expo (valid for entry to exhibits only, June 16-18, 2011). Click here to download a program pre-registration form.
