The Firefighters Support Foundation (FSF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the primary mission of developing training programs for firefighters, EMS and S&R personnel, and providing these programs at no cost to these professions. FSF programs usually take the form of a video presentation and an accompanying Powerpoint presentation. 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.
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 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 current programs are downloadable below.
We would really appreciate your feedback! Please send a quick note to staff@ffsupport.org with your comments on any or all of our programs. We will use them to help us continually improve the free training programs that we offer. If you provide us feedback, we'll add you to our email distribution list so you know when we have posted a new program. (We may use some comments on our Web site. We will not spam you with other emails or give our list to anyone else, and of course you can ask us not to add you to it.) Thanks!
Please note that if you have trouble downloading a file, the problem is most likely intermittent and temporary. Please try again up to 24 hours later before notifying us that there's a problem. But if there really is a problem, we want to hear about it!
