Fire & Foliage 2026

FIRE & FOLIAGE 2026
Presented by The First Due Project

Fire & Foliage is built for firefighters who are done sitting back while culture slips, leadership gets watered down, and good people walk away.

We’re bringing five presenters, one stage, and a room full of people who actually give a damn about getting better.

We’re going straight at the issues:

• Weak leadership
• Broken culture
• Recruitment and retention failures
• LODD awareness
• Mental Health

Not talking around them. Not softening them.

Just real conversations that hit hard and force change.

EARLY BIRD IS LIVE, AND IT WILL NOT LAST

This is your shot to get in at the lowest price.

Once early bird is gone, it’s gone. No extensions. No second chances.

And when this fills up, you’re not getting in the room.

WHAT YOU’RE WALKING INTO

• High-impact talks that challenge how you lead
• Real-world takeaways you can use immediately
• A room full of firefighters who refuse to stay stagnant
• Connections that actually matter

FRIDAY NIGHT : LIMITED ACCESS

We kick things off with a live Kitchen Table Round Table 

Bring your questions for the panelists. 

Spots are limited and tied to early registrations.
Wait too long and you will miss it.

WHY THIS MATTERS

This isn’t just about you.

The First Due Project is building a The First Due scholarship fund to help firefighters who can’t afford training get access to it.

You’re not just buying a ticket.

You’re helping change access to education in the fire service.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

• You’re done tolerating poor culture
• You want to lead, not just exist
• You’re ready to be challenged
