The FSPA Conference held October 3-4, 2024, in Washington, D.C. was well attended and a HUGE SUCCESS based upon comments and feedback from those in attendance! And here are some photos as proof!

With the able assistance of DC Fire & EMS Deputy Chief Shawn Downs and the DC Fire & EMS Department Training Division, we were able to conduct the inaugural Fire Department Culturally Competent Clinician Program the day before the conference and the day after the conference concluded. Eight participants got the opportunity to “walk in the boots” of a firefighter for the day!
