Fire Facts - Eastern PA 2026
About this Event
For the first time ever, Fire Facts is coming to Pennsylvania!
Join Encore Fire Protection as we expand our highly acclaimed regional educational seminar series into PA. Fire Facts 2026 is a rigorous, code-driven seminar designed explicitly for local life-safety professionals to break down complex National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards—with a primary focus on NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code)—and convert them into actionable, field-ready guidance.
Led by seasoned life safety subject-matter experts and featured guest co-speakers Rich Segethy and Matt Meyers, this premier one-day event is built to provide clear, practical answers to confusing field rules, clear up compliance ambiguities, and foster a strong local safety community.
As our inaugural Pennsylvania launch, this session offers an invaluable opportunity to collaborate directly with industry authorities and peer officials from across the region.
