An army marches on its stomach … so do firefighters
You are invited to attend the EMS Conference 2024, from 21-22 October 2024.

Do you want to know why fire fighters march on their stomachs?
Do you know why food is a vital fuel for physically demanding work?
Do you care about the health and wellness of your emergency service workers?
Do you want to learn how to achieve optimal success for your department and organisation?
Then diarise now and submit your reservation for the EMS Conference.
Anyone who cares about the success of their department or organisation needs to improve the health and wellness of their emergency service workers including fire fighters, first responders, ambulance attendants etc. Without a healthy workforce, the department will not be able to achieve optimal success.
This famous phrase attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte has over the years grown to take on meaning beyond its initial military contest.
Its significance has spread to everyone, all of us, and is especially important in the context of the emergency services and their critical role of responding to emergencies.
We know that food is essential for energy and sustenance. We understand that well-fed employees are happy and effective. We know that healthy employees are critical components of an organisation’s success. But we question if all these issues are being applied effectively.
Emergency service workers’ tasks are physically onerous and stressful, impacting on their mental well being. Their ability to effectively carry out their activities effectively will be compromised if they are not properly cared for. This impacts not only themselves and their families, but on entire communities as well — the communities they aim to protect.
Because of their physically demanding and high stress work, emergency service workers need fuel for their bodies to perform physically and to help make quick decisions when responding to emergency situations. They work in environments where health and wellness programmes must be prioritised.
After all, a healthy team is safer, more effective, more resilient and able to perform their jobs with efficiency and dedication.
Attendees to this conference will learn how to implement wellness programmes and how to recognise and mitigate against stress.
“An army marches on its stomach” therefore DOES apply to the health and wellness of fire fighters and other essential workers. The importance of proper nutrition, hydration, and overall well-being is important for optimal performance and safety.

Dates: 21-22 October 2024
Venue: Dräger Auditorium, Woodmead Sandton

Anyone involved in the emergency services, fire fighting and fire safety cannot afford to miss this conference which will focus on the future of this vital service.
Over the past few years we have witnessed significant transformations, bringing about a new era in technology. Embracing this new technology is a key to the success of all emergency services
Until recently, words such as lithium batteries, artificial intelligence, drones, Apps were not part of every day vocabulary, but now they cannot be ignored. They are integrated into the working life of fire fighters and other emergency workers.
Some presentations of the conference will examine:
• The challenges of fighting lithium battery fires – are they pitfalls of new technology?
• Can AI can be used in fire prevention and fire fighting?
• Drones and their uses. Are fire fighters properly trained to operate them?
• Are fire fighters adequately trained to fight fires in modern building structures?
• How can emergency services mitigate the potential catastrophes of climate change?
• The growth of the private fire services. Why and how did they become part of the South African landscape? Are they here to stay?
This conference will focus not only on the importance of reinforcing the familiar, but also on familiarising attendees with the unknown – factors which impact all emergency services / fire fighters / paramedics / rescue teams etc.
After learning from experts in the field, attendees will leave with a wider knowledge, understanding and improved capabilities of what is in store for them in an era when rapidly changing technology cannot be avoided.
