As the curtain closed on yet another record-breaking Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) International—with close to 34,000 attendees descending on downtown Indianapolis, Indiana—old friends met again to celebrate, while new friends were introduced; relationships that will hopefully continue in perpetuity, forged by a love of this noblest of professions.
Also taking part in the festivities of FDIC International 2017, several of Fire Life’s columnists, led by Web site creator and “Fire Yenta” Diane Rothschild, gathered to introduce themselves, talk a little about their work, and explain how they came to the Fire Engineering family.
The columnists included:
Kevin Shea: Hunting Anne Gagliano: Marriage and Relationships Derek Rosenfeld: Sports Kip Rixx: Cooking Mary Jane Dittmar: Health
