It seems hard to believe that another year has passed and what a year it has been for us all. The challenges of COVID-19 appear to be largely behind us and we have enjoyed a return to the trade shows and face to face meetings. Here’s to 2023 and the full ‘return to normal’ as more of the world becomes accessible again.

The readership of International Fire Firefighter continues to grow issue by issue, and the feedback we receive from both our readership and advertisers is amazing. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement!

This latest issue boasts educational and informative articles from the industry’s best and most renowned authors.

We are delighted that the IFF Comment has been written by Nicholas Dinges who shares his feature ‘Applying business ideas to fire service leadership’ which looks at how fire service leaders could do well to adopt tried and tested business management techniques to their organisations.

This nicely leads the way for a further thirteen feature articles, company, and product profiles, case studies and news from across the globe.

Check out Stuart Pythian’s article titled ‘Advanced hybrid firefighting solutions for major fire hazards’, David Dalrymple looks at ‘Multi Vehicle Collisions:

on-scene hazard mitigation’ and Zena Holmes presents ‘What’s over the horizon for wildfire mapping with high-resolution infrared remote sensing’.

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season from the whole of the team here at MDM Publishing and we are looking forward to catching up with you at a trade show in 2023.

If you are attending Intersec in January, drop by the Gulf Fire stand and say hello to the MDM Team, you’ll be guaranteed a warm welcome.Happy reading and please continue to provide us with your comments and suggestions for new features.
