Journeyman Fire conference
JANUARY 18TH, 19TH, 2OTH, 21ST 2020
ROBINSON-OLSSON CIVIC AUDITORIUM
WEST POINT, VIRGINIA
We are Journeymen
Based out of West Point, VA, the Journeyman Fire Conference has a focus on tried and true fireground skills. We are dedicated to keeping the blue collar nature of the fire service alive. All proceeds go to the Sons of the Flag, volunteer fire departments in need, and local schools.
Every firefighter should strive to be a journeyman. We all start out as apprentices and are on a road to improving our knowledge base. Good firefighters know there is no mastery of our craft. Firefighting is a perishable skill and we should always be striving to improve our skills.
