With increasing competition and consolidation happening at the top levels, Rory discusses the impact on small- to mid-size fire protection companies and how they can continue to thrive, even as larger national players enter the market. Our Regional Focus takes us to Massachusetts, where fire chiefs from the Urban Fire Forum and Metro Chiefs met to discuss pressing issues like ethical AI use, lithium-ion fire decontamination and the development of non-PFAS PPE, with their discussions resulting in four key position statements that could have far-reaching effects on firefighter safety and operational strategies in the coming years. Elsewhere in the magazine, we take a look at some of the latest fire protection advancements. From Johnson Controls' innovative school safety systems to Verizon Frontline’s push for better wildfire response connectivity. We also explore the role of breathing machines in SCBA certification, advancements in fire-resistant materials and smart fire suppression systems for both traditional and emerging risks.
