FRESH & FLOWING
FDIC 2026 is coming in hot and we're excited to be heading down again. This year we're launching a new technology and we want you there! Like last year, we're looking to invite five firefighters to attend the FDIC exhibition as our booth guests. They'll also be invited to our FIRED UP awards party on Thursday, April 23rd. Want to hang? Apply below before March 1.
In the fire service, trust isn’t given — it’s earned. For nearly 50 years, Mercedes Textiles has built hose that firefighters can count on. What sets us apart isn’t gimmicks or shortcuts. It’s a commitment to values that don’t change...
