Some of this years presenters:

Dr. David Griffin

Charleston, South Carolina native, David Griffin (41) was the driver of the first engine to respond to the disastrous 2007 Sofa Super Store fire that claimed the lives of nine of his fellow firefighters. Plagued with survivor’s guilt, he numbed himself with alcohol, painkillers, and blood sports so much so that it nearly cost him his life.

A turning point came in the days following a match with nationally ranked mixed-martial arts contender Houston “The Assassin” Alexander. For three days, he sat in darkness, his eyes swelled shut from the battering to his face. He asked himself how his lifestyle honored the nine who were dead.

“One can only sit around for so long and feel sorry for themselves until they have to get up and do something,” Griffin said.

Now, Griffin has completed a Doctorate of Education in organizational leadership and development, training organizations across the globe on the importance of moving away from "the way we've always done it" mentality. He speaks about the Sofa Super Store fire and has helped with massive reforms in how firefighters are trained as well as how executives lead their teams. Griffin has dedicated his life to spreading the message of change to all types of organizations.

Jason Patton

Jason Patton is a 12-year career firefighter/paramedic and creator of the video series Fire Department Chronicles which has amassed 1.4 million followers and over 150 million views. Patton is vice president of Fire Department Coffee and a board member and spokesperson for the Heroes Cup, which works with NHL teams such as the Boston Bruins and the Tampa Bay Lighting to raise money for first responders in need. He is an advocate for first responder mental health, attempting to break the stigma associated with those seeking help for mental health or substance abuse issues.

Details: If you have any questions or issues, please send an e-mail. NOTE: As your SDFA board is all volunteer it may take a day or two for someone to respond.

As we are using a completely new Association Management Software System you may not yet have a login setup.  If you have already setup a login via our new website, use those credentials and LOGIN to ensure member benefits and discounts are applied (setting up a login via the website is the best way to ensure you get accurate member discounts, but your e-mail needs to be in our system to setup a login).  You can fill out the this form (click here for the form) to submit your email, this may take a day or two for us to update the system, if not...follow the instructions below.

If not using a login, Enter your email address in the box below and hit Find Me to see if we have a record of you in our database (if you have used multiple e-mail addresses in the past you may try those as well).  If not found follow the instructions and enter all required information.  We did our best to import all e-mail addresses we had, but due to some spelling of names, abbreviations, and nicknames, etc... not all of them came through.  If the system does not recognize you and will not apply the 100% Department Member discount; send an email to Rick Gustad @ SCDir@sdfirefighters.org with your name, email, and department and we'll get you setup.  Depending on Rick's workload and schedule at the time it may take a day or two to get back to you.

It is VERY important to use individual email addresses for everyone you register, this verifies membership status with the SDFA so appropriate discounts levels are applied.  It also enables every individual with your Department/Agency future access to our NEW Members INFO HUB resource and allows us to communicate any last minute changes to event schedules, class offerings/cancellations, changed PPE requirements etc...  More on that new feature to come soon!

We're sorry. No registrations are currently available. You may wish to contact the event organizer for assistance.
