About FireRescue1

OUR MISSION

Our mission at FireRescue1 is to provide firefighters with the information and resources they need to better protect their communities and come home safe.

We do this by delivering a trusted and reliable online environment for the exchange of information between firefighters and departments across the US and from around the world. It’s our focus on this mission that has made the FireRescue1 network the top online resource for the fire service.

HELPING DEPARTMENTS BETTER TRAIN AND EQUIP THEIR FIREFIGHTERS

In response to requests from firefighters and chiefs from around the country, we’ve expanded our mission to address the urgent need for departments to train better and access more funding with FireRescue1 Academy and FireGrantsHelp.

It offers more than 350 courses that cover a wide range of topics including 160 hours of fire-based EMS courses accredited by CAPCE to meet National Registry recertification requirements. Built specifically for firefighters, the platform allows departments to deliver, track and assign policies and training both online and in person and is used iby nearly 750 departments of all sizes, including Detroit Fire Department, Akron Fire Department, Charlotte County Fire & EMS, and Maryland Fire Rescue Institute.

GIVING BACK TO THE FIRE SERVICE COMMUNITY

Giving back is important to us and FireRescue1 contributes to a number of fire service charities. In particular, we’re a strong supporter of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, contributing more than $100,000 to date to recognize the service and sacrifice of those who have fallen in the line of duty.
