Welcome to Fire-Rescue International (FRI) 2026

Each summer, thousands of the most prominent fire and emergency service leaders come to FRI to learn, network, and collaborate. Make sure you are one of them!

For more than 150 years, fire and emergency service leaders have gathered to exchange ideas, challenge the status quo, and advance the profession. What began in 1873 as a meeting to share innovations and improve fire department operations has grown into the premier leadership conference for the fire and EMS community.

Fire-Rescue International is where the future of the fire service takes shape.

Hosted by the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), FRI brings together thousands of chiefs, officers, and industry leaders from across the world for an unmatched experience in leadership, education, innovation, and connection.
