Explanation:
'Brennpunkt' here means focal point but is also a slight play on words because the text is about fire services. I can't think of a similar double meaning in English so would go with 'hub' as it refers to a central point of activity and can also be used in an emergency services context.

Explanation:
Burning issues on your mind? Your headquarters for all your fire fighting and disaster protection needs"

or..

"Headquarters/one-stop center for all things related to fire fighting and disaster protection."

Unfortunately, it's unclear whether Brennpunkt refers to an information center or the trade show as a whole. Typical idiomatic use of Brennpunkt would be "im Brennpunkt" or "im Brennpunkt stehen" but not "Brennpunkt für". Without that grammatical structure, the German sounds a bit contrived.
