We’ll have representatives at Firehouse World, the Alabama Association of Fire Chiefs Mid-Winter Conference, Long Island Fire & EMS Mega Show, South Carolina Emergency Care Symposium, and EMS Today: The JEMS Conference & Exposition. It all starts off on February 2^nd and keeps us on the road until the end of the month!

Firehouse World is our first big event in February. Focused on the fire service, the conference begins on January 31^st. However, the over 250 exhibits are on display in the San Diego Convention Center starting February 2^nd. Braun Industries will be located in Booth #1443.

Working with representatives from our local dealership, Hi-Tech Emergency Vehicles, we will have two customer units on display – one from the City of Orange and another from Rural/Metro San Diego.

“We are very excited to attend Firehouse World with one of our newer dealerships, Hi-Tech. We look forward to meeting current customers, and connecting with new contacts. The two customer units we will have on display are both wonderful examples of our customization options and have some innovative features worth seeing,” says Chad Brown.

At the same time Firehouse World is going on, Braun Industries’ Regional Sales Manager, Jarret Hammons, will be at the Alabama Association of Fire Chiefs Mid-Winter Conference. The conference is February 2-5, 2016. It’s being held at the Bryant Conference Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
