Police

For operational crews, senior leaders, prevention and protection teams, control, training officers and resilience specialists

What's in for me if I'm part of the UK Fire Service?

The Blue Light Show is the only national emergency services conference where fire services can access an award-winning programme and learn alongside police, ambulance, security, forensics and government agencies, enabling genuine shared learning and emergency services collaboration.

Fire and rescue professionals attend to explore the latest equipment, gain practical lessons from real incidents and understand how new technologies and cross-agency working can strengthen prevention, preparedness and response across their organisation.

For senior leaders:

  • Operational learning grounded in reality

  • Future capability & investment planning

  • Emergency services collaboration at a senior level

  • People, culture and fire service leadership development

  • A trusted, advisory-led programme

For frontline officers:

  • Real-world learning from real incidents

  • Hands-on access to cutting-edge kit

  • Joint learning with other services

  • Practical sessions that improve day-to-day work

  • Empowering the next generation

Why it matters

Fire & Rescue Services are facing rising complexity, from climate-related incidents and high-rise risk to new threats, cultural reform, budget pressure and increasing public expectation.

The Blue Light Show provides a rare space to step back, learn honestly from incidents, explore innovation, and build the partnerships needed for safer communities and more resilient emergency response.

This isn’t theory: it’s practical, operational learning that strengthens entire services.


 

Co-located with:   FEEPublic Safety and Threat Mitigation

Why fire teams attend?

With a programme built alongside operational leaders across fire and other emergency services. From operational tactics and BA discipline to digital command dashboards, comms reliability and emerging threats.

Not theoretical best practice. Walk through step-by-step debriefs of major fires, rescues and multi-agency incidents. Hear candid, cross-agency reflections on major incidents, cultural change, organisational learning and command decision-making. Sessions focus on what actually happens on the ground, not ideal scenarios.

Including equipment, digital tools, training tech and interoperability innovations. Test the latest PPE, breathing apparatus, rescue tools, thermal imaging, digital comms, fleet, robotics and situational awareness tech.

From senior command to frontline firefighters, training staff, resilience teams and control. Meet leaders from police, ambulance, CT, Home Office and local resilience forums to improve shared understanding across JESIP, major incident protocols, and multi-agency operating models.

Helping services upskill, modernise and prepare for emerging risks. Firefighters gain CPD, organisational value and fresh thinking they can take straight back into their stations.

Essential for major incident management and daily integrated response. Train and learn alongside police, ambulance and other agencies to strengthen instinctive, real-world interoperability.
