Decatur, AL - North America Fire Equipment Co., Inc. (NAFECO) brought its Vendor Expo event back to Ingalls Harbor Pavilion in Decatur, AL, on Thursday, January 9, 2020. As in years past, the event brought over 35 manufacturer representatives who provide equipment and apparel for first responder personnel, including fire (both municipal and forestry), law enforcement, EMS, and industrial safety. Companies from all over the United States came to the River City to display their products for members of area public safety departments as well as the local public.

The event continues to grow each year, and NAFECO prepared for another great event. "Each year, we have added more manufacturers from the different first responder markets and our 2020 event was no different. We continue to bring more manufacturers to our event, bringing more diversity in the products." said Jerrell Oaks, President of NAFECO. Mr. Oaks believed the benefit would go beyond that of our local public safety personnel by also bringing exposure to the Decatur area.

In addition to the vendor representatives, public safety personnel from not only Morgan and surrounding counties, but from departments within a 150-mile radius were invited to attend. According to Mr. Oaks, "We always enjoy meeting our customers face-to-face, and giving them the opportunity to talk with these manufacturers and preview new products. We work to provide our customers with a hands-on experience to help them with their current and future equipment and apparel needs."
