Fires in buildings under construction remain a serious challenge across the country, particularly in the multifamily sector. While traditional suppression efforts are essential, new tools are being developed to proactively reduce ignition risk before a fire starts.
Join us for a unique opportunity to learn from fire service leaders and construction experts as we explore the use of non-toxic fire inhibitors in active construction zones. This training will include a side-by-side live fire demonstration comparing treated and untreated structures, offering real-time insight into how new prevention methods are being used to support fire protection efforts.

TEEX's Support That Saves Training
September 30 - October 2, 2025 | Frisco, TX
Education is the first step in building an effective peer support program. Support That Saves: A Guide to Building and Sustaining Peer Support is a three-day training opportunity that covers all elements of building and maintaining an effective peer support program. Peer support programs provide many benefits to first responders, including acknowledging the difficulties of response work, strengthening teams, and equipping them to cope effectively. Peer support programs:
-
Provide training to identify risk factors for behavioral and mental health problems.
-
Reduce stigma by encouraging conversations surrounding mental health and normalizing difficult experiences.
-
Create an environment where people feel comfortable approaching one another.
-
Link peers to outside professional resources for additional care when necessary.
Delivered as part of TEEX’s Wellness and Resiliency Program for first responders, the program’s primary goal is to train first responders in culturally competent, trauma-informed, peer-supportive care, so they are prepared to support mental health needs in their communities via face-to-face peer support networks.
