Fire & Life Safety Education Conference

The NC Fire and Life Safety Educators’ Associations exist solely for the common purpose of prevention. We invite all like-minded individuals to join our Eastern and/or Western organizations, and to attend the annual conference. Our regional organizations meet quarterly at pre-determined locations. These meetings provide valuable networking opportunities, as well as continuing education opportunities. The NC FLSE Conference is typically a 2-3 day educational event held in February.  The overall mission of the conference is “prevention through education.” We, as fire and life safety educators, are better when we first educate ourselves!
