The EMS Region III Conference is an annual event that began as an EMS Trade Show in 1982 and transformed over the past 43 years into one of the premier
conferences in this part of the country. This will be the 26th year the conference has been held in beautiful Ruidoso, New Mexico.
This year we are expecting a crowd of over 900 fire, EMS, police, dispatchers, nurses and physicians from New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and Colorado, along with
speakers and exhibitors from across the country.

The show will feature a variety of exhibitors specializing in fire and emergency medical services, including equipment sales, apparatus repair, safety apparel, and more. Notable exhibitors include 10-8 Emergency Vehicle Service, 3 Rivers Fire Equipment, and Allegheny County Emergency Services.

Communities in the WUI are experiencing unprecedented threats and from wildfires. The old rules have changed, and first responders, practitioners, and land managers are the fire service is facing a year-round fire season that’s pushing them to their limits.

The Wildland-Urban Interface conference gathers leaders from the fire service, government, industry, and research organizations into a three-day event designed to equip you and your team with the tools they need to face wildfire in this new reality.
