The largest gathering of its kind in the State, Convention is for every member of the volunteer fire service and you won’t want to miss FASNY’s outstanding programming August 8-11 in Syracuse.
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.
Educational sessions and hands-on training put an emphasis on the most critical issues facing the fire service today. Social events like the Annual Michael D. Whelan Walk promote wellness and the Annual FASNY Grub & Pub Crawl aim to foster camaraderie.
Convention is about you. We hope to see you there!
