Registration NOW OPEN! 35th ANNUAL FIRE PREVENTION & SAFETY SYMPOSIUM
The National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM) is excited to announce the 35th Annual Fire Prevention & Safety Symposium, set to take place in Biloxi, Mississippi, August 10-14, 2025. This year’s symposium will be hosted by Mississippi State Fire Marshal Connie Dolan and the Mississippi State Fire Marshal’s Office.
The theme for 2025 is:
"All Hours, All Hazards: Disasters Never Sleep!"
NASFM is partnering once again with two esteemed national organizations for this event. The National Carbon Monoxide Awareness Association (NCOAA), which joined NASFM two years ago, will continue its mission to address carbon monoxide poisoning and support survivors in leading healthy, productive lives. The International Fire Marshal Association (IFMA), a section of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), will also return, representing local fire marshals. Together, these organizations will provide an exceptional platform for networking and addressing critical issues such as disaster mitigation, response, recovery, code enforcement, fire investigations, and community risk reduction.
Join us for this landmark conference in August 2025 in Biloxi, Mississippi. Registration below. | | |

JC Fultz, PIO, Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal I wanted to share our first documented Smoke Alarm Save directly related to our joint Smoke Alarm Installation Program called Be Alarmed! We partner with "Camp I Am Me" by the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance, and this also brought me back to what was discussed during the conference of the importance of having partners and building those coalitions! This program has been ongoing since 2018 in Illinois. Here is a link to the story from our partners about the save: Smoke Alarm Save Highlights Importance of Working Smoke Alarms – Illinois Fire Safety Alliance Greenville Smoke Alarm Save Poster JC Fultz, PIO, Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal

Everything's Coming Up Fire Safety This Spring!
Ahead of first day of spring (March 20, 2025), we're reminding Tennessee fire departments to help their communities keep fire safety at the top of their ‘to do’ lists as they start spring house cleaning or hit the road for a quick getaway.
How? It's simple. Share easy-to-remember fire safety messages with your stakeholders in person or on social media, including:
- Test your smoke alarms to make sure they're working.
- Make sure you have - and practice - a fire escape plan.
- In the event of a house fire, close the door behind you as you exit when possible. This can drastically reduce property damage and fire spread.
- Interested in a smoke alarm canvass this spring? Let's connect!
