On behalf of the Northwest Fire Equipment Dealers Association Board of Directors, we want to thank every one of our vendors and fire departments for their support this past year and over the years with the NW Fire & Rescue Expo. As you may know, the board volunteers their time and like many of our vendors, are employed by various companies that support the fire industry. Our goal was always to try and maintain the show and continue a successful show for the future. We were faced with many difficult decisions this past year related to the show and future shows and after many months and lots of discussion around all possible options, we have made a decision. For the foreseeable future, the Northwest Fire Equipment Dealers Association, along with the NW Fire & Rescue Expo, are closing and the board is working towards that end. Refunds have already been dispersed at 70% to vendors based upon the final show costs for 2020 which were impacted by Covid-19 in March last year two months before the show in May. We would have liked it to have been a different outcome, but things did not work out and we wish you all good health and prosperity in the year ahead and beyond.
Best regards to all of you,
Northwest Fire Equipment Dealers Association Board of Directors
