Cygnus Publishing announced plans to join operations of two of its top public safety publications. Firehouse magazine will align efforts with Public Safety Product News (PSPN) creating one of the largest editorial and advertising teams servicing the fire and public safety industries.

It will host both the National Association of Emergency Vehicle Technicians (NAEVT) and the International Society of Fire Service Instructors (ISFSI). irculation (ABC) to maintain strict qualification.
