Before you build a new station…⁠

Are you even on the right path?⁠

Travis Miller is challenging the rush to move forward—breaking down the critical steps that determine whether your project actually gets approved, funded, and executed successfully.⁠

Because it’s not just about needing a station…⁠

It’s about proving it, planning it, and aligning the right stakeholders from the start.⁠

If you skip that groundwork, everything that follows gets harder.⁠

Storm shelters often feel like a requirement…⁠

But they don’t have to be a compromise.⁠

Stan Fuller is changing how we think about these “fortresses within”—showing how integrated shelter design can serve a dual purpose: functional daily space and life-saving protection when it matters most.⁠

Because the best designs don’t just meet code…⁠

They make every square foot work harder.⁠

If you’re treating storm shelters as an add-on, you’re missing an opportunity.⁠

You’re not here to learn what to do…⁠

You’re here to learn what not to do.⁠

Don Collins brings decades of experience, hundreds of fire station visits, and one of the most extensive real-world collections of design mistakes in the fire service.⁠

This session is a reality check—showing how small oversights turn into long-term problems that impact operations, safety, and performance.⁠

Because the fastest way to improve your next station…⁠

Is to stop repeating the same mistakes.⁠

You don’t get funding first…⁠

You earn support first.⁠

Dennis Ross is flipping the script on how fire station projects actually get approved—showing that community trust, stakeholder alignment, and public perception are what unlock funding.⁠

Because even the best-designed project won’t move forward without a “yes” vote.⁠

This session dives into how to navigate politics, build momentum, and bring your community with you—not against you.⁠

If you’re only focused on the building… you’re missing the bigger battle.⁠
