The FEU is a strong network of European fire officers associations and national fire departments, dedicated to connecting full-time fire and rescue service personnel across Europe.

“Our commitment to public safety and resilience is strengthened by our shared dedication. Leadership is a cornerstone in shaping our future, and through this partnership, we’re moving closer to that goal. Together at INTERSCHUTZ 2026, we look forward to connecting, learning, and building a safer Europe and beyond”, said Stephan Wevers, FEU President.

“We are delighted to have secured the FEU Leadership Conference for INTERSCHUTZ 2026. Welcoming around 300 international chief fire officers and strategic leaders from across Europe is an absolute highlight for us and our exhibitors, visitors, and partners,” said Bernd Heinold, Project Director of INTERSCHUTZ at Deutsche Messe AG.

“Networking, learning, exchanging ideas, discussing current and future challenges, and finding solutions together are at the heart of INTERSCHUTZ. Having FEU 2026 join this network is a tremendous signal for the global blue light community,” Heinold added.
