We share the April 2026 Blue Card rundown, from FDIC plans to major updates in training, online content, and continuing education. We dig into what’s changing in Fire Command, why objective after action reviews matter, and how we keep the whole response system stronger from dispatch to the fireground.

• FDIC plans in the Hoosier corridor and who you can meet at the booth
• Third edition Fire Command textbook release and why the update matters
• Blue Card Online update planned to align with the new textbook
• After Action Reporting system overview and what it measures
• How non-instructors get AAR access and how the subscription pricing works
• New traffic incident management CE module tied to apparatus positioning and safety
• New dispatcher CE on mass casualty support and catching missed Maydays
• ARFF program growth, new CE and simulations, and the August Phoenix class dates
• Train the Trainer schedule, workshop dates, and why early booking matters
• New command awareness program for firefighters, operators, and EMS partners
• Helmet wall update and how departments can contribute
