Sunday River Resort, Newry

The Maine Fire Chiefs’ Association returns to Sunday River for our 2026 Professional Development Conference. The Maine Fire Service Institute and Maine Fire Protection Services Commission co-sponsor the Professional Development Conference.

This conference has a long history of bringing together the region’s fire and rescue personnel, emergency managers, law enforcement officers as well as municipal officials and providing a great venue for learning and the sharing of ideas as well as best practices. 

Participants are encouraged to visit the expansive vendor area to view and discuss with the vendors new products/ services that are available to Fire/EMS responders. Networking opportunities, makes the MFCA’s Professional Development Conference at Sunday River the premiere Fire/EMS Conference in the region. We look forward to seeing you at the Conference!
