## Resource

A major conference like FDIC isn't just about the training—it’s an excuse to fully embrace being a firefighter. On this episode of The Revolutionaries, hosts John Velez and Preston Lyons discuss navigating the ins and outs of of the Indianapolis, Indiana, show. They explore how for many in the fire service, training at the station is a constant battle against the next lift assist or fire alarm. At FDIC, you're able to get hours of uninterrupted focus, learn directly from experts, and explore new methods. Velez and Lyons detail "H.O.T." classes, upcoming lectures, and the value of networking at an event where you're surrounded by people with similar goals and interests.
