HAI Firefighting Event Now the Aerial Work Safety Conference
IN RECOGNITION OF THE MANY operations entailed in aerial work, HAI has renamed its Aerial Firefighting Safety Conference the HAI Aerial Work Safety Conference, which will be held Nov. 16–17, 2022, in Boise, Idaho. The event’s focus changes as well. All the firefighting sessions remain, but this year, the program will expand to include utility and restricted-category air- craft operations, too. “Last year’s firefighting safety conference was very
well attended and represented the largest of its kind to date,” says Zac Noble, HAI’s director of flight operations and maintenance. “But because so much of the event’s safety information is valuable to far more than just fire- fighting operations, we saw an opportunity to make this important conference better by combining our Utilities, Patrol, and Construction Working Group’s safety event and the firefighting safety conference.” The conference will take place at Boise Centre West,
Boise’s large and modern convention center, conve- niently located downtown within walking distance of hotels and restaurants. Day 1, Nov. 16, of the conference will feature safety
and informational sessions as well as breakout sessions for the utilities, restricted-category aircraft, and aerial firefighting sectors. Day 2, Nov. 17, will include safety sessions, including
