2025 Fire Expo Classes:
In 2025, we have expanded the Fire Expo. This year, we will be offering 10 Fire Classes and 1 Special Operations Class. The classes will be set up in tracks. Meaning, when you sign up for a specific track, those are the two classes you will get for the conference. This year we have 5 live fire classes.
