Breakfast and lunch are being generously sponsored by King County EMS and feature local eateries selected by Eastside Fire and Rescue. There will be numerous opportunities to meet one-on-one with agencies from across the region throughout the event, including fire service agencies, EMS agencies, 911 communication agencies, and public health agencies.

There will be firefighters or staff from every agency participating in the event, from all backgrounds and levels of their organization,  who are looking to connect with participants to provide ongoing mentorship throughout the hiring process and beyond. This event is especially welcoming of underserved persons in our industry – including the BIPOC community, women, LGBTQIA+ community, and those with little-to-no experience in or around the fire service. We want you to know that you have a place in the fire service, and our agencies want to help you succeed!  

So, be sure to seize this opportunity to jump start a very rewarding career and be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity to make connections with fire service leaders from around the region.
