Photos from past years at FDIC:
Fire Department Instructors Conference and Expo
Each year, we attend the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis, Indiana. We thoroughly enjoy meeting customers and visiting with our friendly dealers face-to-face. The show is also an invaluable place for us to hear great ideas and feedback from everyone. Thank you all for visiting with us!
We are missing pictures from FDIC 2012 because Joan, chief in charge of photo taking, was unable to attend (due to having had a new baby). She will be back in 2013 so get ready to smile and say “Cheese” if you visit the booth!

Above: Maryland Fire Fighters Ronnie, Jimmy, Dennis, Duane, Linas, Ceeray, and Jordan (front) humored me (I am between Jimmy and Dennis) by listening so patiently as I went on and on about VENTRY Fans and LENTRY Lights... My thanks go to this group of friendly gentlemen for their patience, good advice, and help in making FDIC 2010 such fun.
