Good Morning,
This is Pat Wilson sending out our flyer for the upcoming Henry County Fire Rescue Ignite event!! I'm super excited about this years event and I hope that you all will help spread the word and also come out to the 2026 event!! Last was powerful and had a lasting impact on our attendees!! I believe we are going to take it to the next level in 2026!!
I have attached the flyer and I hope that you will send personnel from your department to attend!! Although Ignite has a focus on women serving in our service, this will be of great benefit to all attendees!!
This an opportunity to learn, understand and lead!! I hope to see you on May 28th and 29th!!
Thanks,
Chief Pat
