We have heard all of you....We are entertaining the idea of doing the conference again. We were just as upset as you all were to cancel the event, but the safety of the students and instructors were of tops priority.

So...with that being said....

If you would like to see the conference happen, sound off. On top of that, if you know a place where we can hold it, send us a private message. Looking for 50/100 seating capacity.

Let’s see if we can make this happen!

Update on shirt & decal orders:

Please be patient as we work through processing everyone’s order. We have received all the orders and money, and we are working as fast as we can to package, label and ship.

Due to the recent Covid situation and team cutbacks this part of the operation is now a two man operation & process. On top of that, we are being extra cautious and safe when handling everyone’s orders. Please be patient as we work to make sure every order gets filled and shipped.

We promise you’ll be happy with the products when they arrive.

Thank You,
MD FF Conference Event Team

A Message from AT&T and FirstNet:

Due to the recent events with the COVID-19 Virus and the Governor of the State of Maryland declaring a statewide emergency, we at the Maryland Fire Fighters Conference have unfortunately decided to cancel our event to ensure the safety of our attendees, vendors, and instructors. This is a tough decision, however the safety of our first responders is paramount as you are all on the front lines, protecting the greater population.

We encourage you all to continue to train, educate yourselves, and remain vigilant in these trying times. We also encourage you to support the International Burn Foundation and keep an eye out for additional events and information on our facebook and instagram pages.

All tickets will be fully refunded.

Feel free to email Tristan O'Connor at [email protected] with any other questions.

We are pleased to announce that this year 100% of the Maryland Firefighter’s Conference earning’s will be donated to the International Association Burn Fund/Foundation.

The International Burn Fund is a non-profit organization that uses donations to help aide in the assistance of burned firefighters and their families. Along with that, children who have been affected by burns as a result of fires, also get afforded the opportunity to attend a children’s burn camp.

As we know the road to recovery for any of these unfortunate circumstances is long and can’t be done without the help from outside.

That’s why we are pleased to donate the conference’s earnings to this amazing cause.
