In September 2026, dozens of fire service and government leaders from nearly 70 countries are scheduled to meet in London for the World Fire Congress to discuss strategies and solutions to global challenges. On this episode of The NFPA Podcast, host Jesse Roman speaks with two accomplished international fire service leaders about how the Congress came to be, what it aims to become, and why international cooperation in the fire service is becoming so critical.

The interview was recorded live at the 2026 NFPA Conference & Expo® in Las Vegas.
