“This conference has become one of the City of Paducah’s largest educational events, drawing more than 300 fire and building professionals each year,” said Deputy Chief of Fire Prevention Greg Cherry. “Our Fire Prevention Division invites knowledgeable and engaging instructors who are experts in their fields, including professionals with firsthand experience developing the codes that guide fire service and construction. We’re proud to provide this valuable training and networking opportunity and encourage fire and building professionals to attend.”

It’s a rewarding event for participants, vendors, instructors, and our Fire Prevention Division staff, who work hard to coordinate the conference each year.”
