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.
