West Springfield, MA – Internet-based company FirefighterAwardsGifts.com of Laconia exhibited its custom engraved firefighter axes at the at the New England Association of Fire Chiefs’ 89th annual Fire/Rescue/EMS Conference & Exposition in West Springfield, Massachusetts. This was the third consecutive year that the company has exhibited its lineup of engraved ceremonial axes and recognition products at the expo.

The five day conference and exposition attracted fire and emergency service professionals from around New England and the Northeast. Hundreds of vendors of firefighting equipment, vehicles, and apparatus converged on the grounds of the Eastern States Exposition to exhibit and demonstrate the latest developments in fire fighting products and technology.

Company representatives Ron Stevens and Nathan Thorsell staffed the newly designed booth and greeted a steady stream of firefighters representing departments from Maine to New York.

Attendees filled out an entry form and were entered into a prize drawing for a fully personalized, 36” ceremonial fire axe and display plaque valued at over $500. The grand prize winner was Fire Chief Eleanor Mardin of Holderness, NH. Chief Mardin has been a firefighter for 22 years..

The show was held despite the recent destruction from a tornado that ravaged the area last month, killing four people and injuring many others. The F-3 tornado originated in neighboring Westfield and was on the ground for 39 miles. The Moses Building, located on the grounds of the exposition, is now serving as a homeless shelter for victims of the tornado.
