In 2025, over 300 firefighters from across Texas will come to The Woodlands for the Texas State Fire Fighters Association's 49th Biennial Convention. The Association recently announced that The Woodlands has been selected as the location for the 2025 State Convention, after the convention bid was presented in July 2023 during the 48th Biennial Convention in El Paso.
“We’re excited our fellow Texas firefighters chose The Woodlands for our Association’s Bi-Annual Convention," said Erik Secrest, President of The Woodlands Professional Firefighters Association.
