No one knows the challenges and rewards better than your fellow volunteer first responders. Convention is a great, if not the best, opportunity to network with and learn alongside them. FASNY Convention training puts an emphasis on the most critical issues facing the fire service today. Social events foster camaraderie. Convention is all about our community. It’s all about you. So, come join us for these special days that have been a FASNY tradition for over 150 years. Take advantage of early meal plan pricing — $300 until June 18 ( $350 per person after 6/18).
It was a pleasant afternoon in August 1872 as a parade moved along the main street of Auburn, New York. A group of local volunteer firemen stood on the curb watching, when one of them (whose name history does not record) spoke up, asking “Why not have a firemen’s convention?” Little did any of them realize at the time that this chance remark would provide the incentive for the formation of what was to become one of the largest organizations in the state.
In 153 years since, FASNY has remained dedicated to informing, educating and training the volunteer fire service thanks to the commitment of its members and leadership by hundreds of individuals. The organization has continually enhanced knowledge and encouraged camaraderie among volunteer firefighters with numerous programs and services.
For more than a century and a half, Convention has been FASNY’s signature event filled with fellowship, education and a little fun. Don’t miss this year’s event in Long Island!
