Fire departments from across the state will be coming to Manchester for the State Fire Convention that starts Tuesday. Manchester firefighter Ed Tibbott is co-chairing this year’s convention and says it will be the fifth time Manchester has hosted the state event.
The State Fire Convention is based at the Delaware County Fairgrounds, which will transform into its own little “town” as the fire departments settle in.
They wrap up with the State Fire Convention parade Saturday at 2 p-m before everyone heads home on Sunday. Tibbott says hosting the State Fire Convention brings a big financial boost to the Manchester Fire Department.
It is the first time Manchester has hosted the convention since 2019
