From the Editor: Fire Buyer at FDIC

Dear readers, in April 2023, the International Fire Buyer team attended one of the largest active fire shows of the year dedicated to training and upskilling firefighters worldwide, FDIC International.

The team spent the week in Indianapolis catching up with old friends, meeting new faces and trialing some of the best fire apparatus equipment in the world. I had the pleasure of conducting interviews with market leading manufacturers such as Pierce Manufacturing, Oshkosh Airport Products, Waterax, Fireai, TenCate Fabrics, Seek Thermal and many more, and our Multimedia Manager, Sam Smyth, conducted product demonstration videos with Nightsticks, Pacific Helmets and TenCate Fabrics which will all be available on our YouTube channel Fire Buyer TV.

FDIC International welcomed 34,357 registered fire industry professionals for hands-on training, classroom sessions, networking meetings, and exploring the show floor from 55 different countries. We have put together a highlight reel for you of all the best bits of FDIC International 2023, and we are excited to share it with you.
