FIRE & RESCUE 2008 is set to be even more spectacular than the inaugraul event at the NEC last year. It is being held in Liverpool from 27th to the 29th August 2008, alongside the World Firefighter Games at the brand new and now award-winning Arena and Convention Centre.
Catering to the requirements of everyone in the fire and rescue service – from senior and operational level officers to management level support staff – the event is expected to attract thousands of representatives. A mixture of spectacular live action displays, the latest technologies from manufacturers and suppliers, and a world class conference line up will be on offer.
Run on behalf of the Chief Fire Officers’ Association, the Institution of Fire Engineers and the Fire Protection Association, and in partnership with Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, the event will be a celebration of excellence in the fire and rescue service and a key date in the calendar for Liverpool’s year as European Capital of Culture.
The exhibition will host over 150 of the leading suppliers to the Fire & Rescue Service including, AssetCo plc, Draeger, Trelleborg, Bristol Uniforms, Vector Command, Cosalt Ballyclare, EADS, MFC Survival and Hale Products Europe. Many of these companies will be launching new and innovative products into the market for the very first time.
Spectacular live action displays, hosted by Merseyside Fire & Rescue will take place throughout the show, where visitors will witness real time demonstrations showing current techniques for fire and rescue scenarios, such as urban search and rescue, vehicle rescue, water rescue and simulated domestic fires.
“We are very excited about our partnership with Fire & Rescue 2008,” said Tony McGuirk, chief fire officer at Merseyside Fire & Rescue. “Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service is an example to fire services all over the world and we are keen to build on our reputation for innovation and excellence. Liverpool is European Capital of Culture in 2008 and we are sure these two events will contribute enormously to this massive celebration.”
Fire & Rescue 2008 will take place from 27-29 August 2008 at the Arena and Convention Centre (ACC), Liverpool and will be co-located with the World Firefighters Games 2008.

A PLATFORM FOR DEBATE
“The acknowledged platform to debate current fire and rescue issues and scan the horizon for long term trends and developments,” is how the Fire & Rescue 2008 conference is described by its organisers, Fire Conferences & Exhibitions. And with a high level line up of national and international speakers, it’s easy to see why it will live up to its claim as a ‘must attend’ event for all senior fire officers, as well as local government and the fire prevention industry.
The conference programme will feature a number of issues high on the national political agenda: operational doctrine, flooding, health and safety, comprehensive area assessments, fire insurance and sprinklers, as well as equality and diversity.
The Fire & Rescue 2008 speaker panel will include some of the industry’s foremost leaders and opinion formers, with such distinguished names as Sir Michael Pitt, author of the Pitt Review on the response to last year’s floods; Bill Stewart, US Metro chief; Brigadier Richard Dennis, director of British Infantry; Ann Jones AM of the Welsh Assembly; Steve Finnigan, Lancashire’s chief constable; and Roy Watkinson, technical & commercial director at AXA Insurance. In addition, motivational speaker, Heather Wright will open up the conference with a lively and inspirational keynote address, and will be followed by the customary exchange between the CFOA president and a senior politician.
The main plenary sessions will be supported by FCEL’s usual programme of highly topical and practical workshops, which this year will cover new technology, skills and competency framework, industrial relations, national standards and interoperability and post-fire business continuity.
