That’s it.

One winner will be randomly selected for September 14–16 in Alexandria, Virginia on Saturday, August 22, 2026. You must confirm you’re available to attend before accepting.

The ticket gets you into Training Days for all three days. Travel, lodging, leave, shift swaps and everything else it takes to get yourself to Alexandria are on you. 🏁

This registration was donated by a longtime Training Days attendee, supporter and blue shirt with more than 30 years in the Virginia fire service.

Share it. Comment GOOD JAKE. Maybe we’ll see you in Alexandria. 🤘🇺🇸

🏁 ATTN: VIRGINIA FIREFIGHTERS 🏁

Someone who believes strongly in Training Days — and in making good training accessible to firefighters — has stepped up and donated a FULL THREE-DAY REGISTRATION to Training Days 2026.

And this seat is staying right here in the Commonwealth.

🔥 ONE Virginia firefighter will be randomly selected to attend all three days of Training Days 2026 — September 14–16 in Alexandria!!

A little about the person making it happen…

He’s a longtime Training Days attendee, supporter, blue shirt and someone who has spent more than 30 years serving in the fire department in Virginia. His career has included strong roots on BOTH sides of the house — volunteer and career — and he continues to believe in supporting firefighters who want to learn, grow, and bring something back to their departments.

So he bought a seat.

And he wants to give it to one of you.

Here’s the deal:

🚒 You must be a Virginia firefighter — career or volunteer.
📅 You must be available for all three days, September 14–16.
🎟️ The giveaway covers ONE three-day Training Days registration ONLY.

Everything else is on you — hotel, Airbnb, gas, food outside of what Training Days provides, annual leave, childcare, and whatever bribes or favors required to get somebody to swap shifts with you. 😂

Before accepting, the winner will need to confirm they can actually attend.

Want the seat? Share this post and drop a comment “all is well” by Sunday, August 16th at 12:00. We’ll randomly select one Virginia firefighter to join us in Alexandria.
