Bringing It All Together
The 2nd Annual CO Safety Summit took place at NASFM’s 34th Annual Fire Prevention & Safety Symposium. View the agenda here.
This dedicated CO Safety Summit focused on education, research, case studies, data, new technologies, and best practices.
This year, we focused on bringing it all together.
-
We brought the 4 CO Safety Coalition Work Groups together to present their work since the Coalition launched last year.
-
This event brought together the people and organizations who are most determined to put an end to carbon monoxide poisoning.
-
We worked together with NASFM and the International Fire Marshal Association (IFMA) to strategize ways to protect our communities from CO.
2025 Venue Will Be Announced Soon
Attendees heared from the experts and networked with 300+ fire marshals and fire service professionals, 70+ carbon monoxide professionals, community risk reduction experts, and more!
Join us in 2025 at the National Association of State Fire Marshals' 35th Annual Fire Prevention & Safety Symposium for these educational sessions about CO Safety.

About the Carbon Monoxide Safety Coalition
The CO Safety Coalition is a revolutionary effort to bring all industries together to tackle carbon monoxide poisoning, injury, and death. The Coalition consists of four Working Groups:
-
Codes, Standards, & Regulations
-
Emergency Response
-
Science & Innovation
-
Surveillance Data
Everyone involved in the Coalition will have a voice in this work, from researchers to survivors, advocates, manufacturers, government agencies, and legislators.
Together, we will work toward zero injuries and deaths due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
