Every October, National Fire Prevention Week™ reminds us of something simple yet profound: fire safety isn’t just about compliance, it’s about foresight, preparation, and responsibility. For companies in the chemical distribution industry and beyond, fire risk is never theoretical, it’s part of the daily equation.
This year, ASK Distribution Consulting LLC is leaning into that reality with the 2025 Fire Safety Summit, a two-day virtual event on October 7–8, 2025, that brings together the industry’s sharpest minds to talk about fire safety in practice. With a great speaker line-up featuring top leaders from Univar Solutions, Brenntag, Barton Solvents, Inc., Better Protection, and Newson Gale, attendees will gain insights shaped by real-world experience and practical strategies.
The Summit’s structure reflects the dual nature of fire risk. On Day 1, the focus turns inward: how do we manage static area hazards, strengthen facility protocols, and leverage technology to safeguard the spaces where our people and products live? Expect frank discussion, case studies from ACD members, and insights from experts on how to go beyond the minimum to create a culture of safety.
On Day 2, the lens widens. Wildfires, shifting insurance pressures, and the role of first responders highlight how interconnected fire safety really is. Fires don’t stop at the facility gate, and neither should preparedness. Hearing from companies who’ve faced wildfire risks firsthand, alongside risk advisors and emergency response leaders, underscores the collective responsibility of our industry in building resilience.
The value of the Fire Safety Summit isn’t just in the sessions, it’s in the perspective shift. Fire prevention can sometimes feel like a checklist item, a box to be ticked. But when you hear from a first responder who’s seen the stakes up close, or from a company that learned hard lessons through experience, those boxes start to look more like lifelines.
This event is designed not only to inform but to challenge assumptions, spark new ideas, and remind us that safety doesn’t stop when the workday ends.
The 2025 Fire Safety Summit is taking place virtually on October 7–8, 2025, from 1:00 to 3:30 PM (ET) each day. Registration is just $24 for ACD members and $36 for non-members, making it an affordable opportunity to gain valuable insights into advancing fire safety strategies. Register today!
