FirstForward® announced that the company will be donating $1 from every sign up by fire and rescue professionals between April 15 and April 30, 2016 to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. This promotion was designed to coincide with FDIC International 2016, so that they can maximize the donations given by having signups at the FirstForward booth (13113 in the Capital Corridor). The company is dedicated to supporting the families of fallen firefighters and to providing firefighters with critical training, missions aligned with those of the NFFF.
FirstForward.com is the nation’s professional first responder training network, bringing online and in-person training opportunities from vendors across the country to first responders in one Web site. Individual first responders can sign up for this Web site for free, take training, connect with other first responders, and manage their careers with a comprehensive digital training record.
Additionally, departments can sign up for FirstForward for free, identify training opportunities, assign these courses to individuals or the entire department, and track course completion. Within the training course marketplace, there are both free courses and courses with cost associated. There is also a way to rate courses and provide reviews, so that your peers can help you to evaluate the best courses for your department.
FirstForward is excited to be able to bring this training network to the nation’s firefighters and to be able to support NFFF in the process. Please help spread the word by signing up at FirstForward.com and sharing FirstForward with the fire and rescue community. Remember, donations to NFFF will be made for sign ups from April 15 through April 30, 2016, so make the most of your sign up and register during that time!
