Training
The Firefighters Support Foundation provides new and advanced skills instruction FREE to firefighters and rescue personnel across the country.
We work with leading experts in these fields, and produce our own training material, which is distributed widely to the firefighting and rescue professional community, free of charge.
Our vital efforts help disseminate new tactics, techniques and safety information and help spread the wisdom of experienced professionals to rescue personnel across the country. FSF’s programs are designed to enhance professional performance and citizen safety through training in new subjects, leading-edge techniques, and modern approaches.
Our programs are developed and taught by experienced, dynamic FSF instructors, experts and consultants. The training programs are valuable additions to departmental training libraries and are available to every public safety professional. Modular in fashion, the training on these videos can be watched in short blocks of time and used for roll-call or in-service training.
