About WORK
WORK…
“The Fire Service has long been said to have its roots in the trades and the WORK conference has its aim at honoring those humble beginnings. From Lecturers speaking on where we are hitting/missing the mark in the service to quality reps based in skill, sweat, and most importantly WORK, there is something here for all in the fire service.”
The Lone Star F.O.O.L.S. chapter of F.O.O.LS. International hosted the first event with extreme success in April 2018. We take aim to spread the art of firemanship with quality instruction and real life, skills-based scenarios from some of the best instructors from all over the nation. Lone Star F.O.O.L.S. donates all profits back into the Mike Rowe Works Foundation, a scholarship program aimed at getting people back into trades. Lone Star F.O.O.L.S. donated $13,000 in 2018 and we only aim to keep that number climbing, It is all made possible by you, the firefighter. Due to ongoing public health concerns, WORK 2020 will be postponed until 2021. Date’s to be announced here and on our social media whenever determined.
