    Wednesday is the Fire Safety Conference. The conference has expanded to five different tracks offering programs that appeal to all facets of the fire safety community: engineers, contractors, fire service members, and insurance underwriters. 
     
    Attendees receive a great value, three days of training for between $449 and $599. AHJs can attend all three days for between $199 and $299. For those who attend the seminar How To Study For The FPE/PE Exam, the Fire Safety Conference is FREE! Please see the conference brochure for more pricing options.
