Fire Facts Seminars

Periodically, City Fire Equipment Company offers educational seminars and publications on topics that we feel are important to the fire protection community of New Jersey.  We provide these events and printed materials as a public service.

In conjunction with Seton Hall University and the South Orange Fire Department, City Fire proudly sponsor our Fire Facts Seminar Series at the Seton Hall campus two to three times a year. The nature of all of our business is highly subjected to decisions made by others, legislators, regulators, market forces and such.  Some good… some not so good.  Our jobs singly and collectively are to apply these regulations into the work we do everyday.

To be notified about upcoming seminars, simply sign up for our mailing list.
