Time to plan ahead for this great event next year. Please spread the word.

Dear Louisiana Fire Service Leaders, Firefighters, and Partners,

I'm excited to invite you to what is shaping up to be one of the premier fire service events in Louisiana.

The Louisiana Office of State Fire Marshal, in partnership with the Louisiana Firefighters Foundation (LAFF) and the Fire and Emergency Training Academy (FETA), is proud to announce the 2027 Louisiana Equipment Expo, coming to the FETA campus in Baton Rouge on March 5-6, 2027.

Held immediately following the LIFT Conference, this two-day event will bring together firefighters, manufacturers, vendors, and industry professionals from across Louisiana and beyond to showcase the latest equipment, technology, and innovations in the fire service.

You can look forward to live apparatus demonstrations, hands-on product displays, friendly competitions, networking opportunities, free food, and much more.

The Louisiana Equipment Expo is more than an equipment show, it's an opportunity to strengthen our fire service, share ideas, and build relationships while discovering the tools and technology that help us better serve our communities.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with your department, neighboring agencies, community partners, and anyone with an interest in the fire service.

Mark your calendars:
📅 March 5-6, 2027
📍 Fire and Emergency Training Academy (FETA), Baton Rouge

Additional details, including vendor registration, demonstrations, and event schedules, will be announced in the coming months.

Thank you for your continued dedication to protecting the citizens of Louisiana. I look forward to seeing departments from every corner of our state come together for this exciting event.

Sincerely,

Chief Bryan J Adams
DPS Principal Assistant/Fire Marshal

We wish to thank Fire Chief Amanda Guillot Thibodeaux & President/Batt. Chief Joshua Landry from the Little Calliou Fire Dept. in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana for selecting our Company to design & produce their 75 Year Anniversary Challenge Coin. Their design was created using raised 3D for the firefighter side with a raised deckplate background, and antique gold plating on both sides.
They have been a loyal customer for many years, and we appreciate each & every challenge coin design they have ordered from us.
