ASSIST-U.S.® Attends the New England Association of Fire Chiefs (NEAFC) Annual Meeting in Springfield MA


This past week-end, Bruce Seibert (Founder/Product Manager) and I were privileged to join between 5000-6000 firefighters – full-time personnel and volunteers of all ranks and positions – and hundreds of other vendors at the annual New EnglandAssociation of Fire Chiefs (NEAFC) annual meeting in Springfield, MA. 

In particular, we wanted to meet with as many chiefs and deputy chiefs as possible to show examples and benefits of our aerial streaming video imagery services to their operations. At our booth, our laptops displayed footage from our post-storm damage assessment of the very recent Springfield, MA tornado, along with footage of a structure fire in Concord, NH, where we arrived within a minute of the fire trucks.

We were encouraged by the interest and response of the chiefs and firefighters who stopped by our booth, as well as by representatives of the NortheasternForest Fire Protection Compact (NFFC), which coordinates resources for conservation departments and mutual fire aid associations of the Northeastern states and eastern Canada provinces. Other interested parties included several training vendors who saw the potential value of using our archival footage in their organizations’ curricula.
