Last week, some of our team members had the incredible opportunity to attend the NAFED Conference right here in Cleveland—and what an experience it was! 🔥
From networking with industry professionals to learning from informative sessions and exploring the latest in fire equipment and safety, our team had an amazing time growing both professionally and personally.
We’re especially proud to have had six first-time attendees representing our team 👏
A huge thank you to NAFED for hosting such a well-organized and impactful event, and an even bigger thank you to all of our team members who attended and represented us so well. We’re grateful for your dedication and enthusiasm! 🚒

Looks like relaxing poolside with a drink in hand is the favorite around here 🍹😎
What about you—are you booking a cruise or heading to a resort? Let us know in the comments ⬇️
