As dramatic changes reshape the fire equipment industry, it is critical that owners join together to uphold the dignity, honor and efficiency of the fire equipment profession. The Florida Fire Equipment Dealers Association continues to work to promote the needs and interests of Florida's fire equipment dealers.

FFEDA works diligently to

• secure the adoption of uniform standards and ordinances governing the fire equipment industry,
• recommend trade policies and practices that will help stabilize the industry and protect the public interest,
• build good will between distributors, dealers, manufacturers and state and national regulators,
