The FSRI Fire Safety Academy is now available!
The new FSRI Fire Safety Academy is an online learning management system equipped with numerous training courses designed for real-world application. As the fire environment continues to evolve and increase challenges for the fire service, training is more important than ever. The Fire Safety Academy will keep you up to date on topics including fire dynamics, firefighting tactics, firefighter health, and more.
“Everything about firefighting is science. It is so much more than just applying water, breaking windows, and rescuing people. The more that the fire service can learn about fire dynamics and how their tactics impact the fire, the more effective their tactical decisions will become. This can enable them to solve the fire problem safer and more efficiently, which in the end, can save more lives. With that in mind, we have developed the FSRI Fire Safety Academy, a new online learning management system equipped with numerous training courses designed for real-world application.”
— Stephen Kerber Director, Vice President, Research and Director, FSRI
