Disseminating Research Through Cutting-Edge Training

Dedicated to Increasing Firefighter Knowledge to Advance Safety

The 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. Firefighting is a science, and the more the fire service can learn about fire dynamics and how their tactics impact the fire, the more effective their tactical decisions will become.

Initiatives

FSRI projects are scoped and executed to address real fire safety issues, deliver actionable insights and provide unique resources to enable research findings to be put into practice to advance fire safety.
