The Doylestown Fire Company
went to the Fire Department Instructor's Conference
(FDIC) in Indianapolis, IN for the weekend of
April 19th through the 22nd. FDIC is a firefighting
industry conference held annually to help promote
training within the fire service and as a trade show
for new and upcoming equipment and apparatus.
Doylestown is currently looking to purchase a new
aerial apparatus, so a group of people went out to
look at what each manufacturer had to offer. Many
miles were walked and hours spent looking at what
the conference had to offer. Photos by Jeff Kennedy.
