Training
FSF's primary focus is on providing life-saving, injury-preventing, and other valuable training to firefighters, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), search and rescue (S&R) personnel, and emergency management (EM) personnel.
We produce our own first-responder-specific training programs on critical issues and distribute them free to these professions nationwide. Our programs have been used by agencies at every level of government in the country. Many of our programs address advanced topics or topics that are not often covered. Others reinforce the basics, with the particular twists that our instructors impart.
Programs are developed and taught by academy-level instructors with significant experience in their fields. Our training programs are designed to be used by both individual service members and by agency trainers. Training officers can use the programs by distributing the included PowerPoint slides to serve as the basis for note-taking, running the video presentation, and pausing the video frequently to discuss the material presented. In this way, the training is consistent from session to session, trainer preparation time is greatly reduced, and the training is completely documented. These programs can be used in their entirety, or in short blocks for roll-call training.
All of our training programs are available free to all members of these professions by download. These programs are hosted for us by FireEngineering.com, the premier fire portal for training in these fields.
