NATIONAL FIREFIGTHERS TRAINING FOUNDATION INC

EVENTS

OUR STORY

National Firefighters Training Foundation Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to ensure that the highest quality of experience based training is affordable and accessible to all firefighters across the United States by providing conference and "drill night" style training opportunities nationwide to ensure that all firefighters achieve their training goals regardless of their departments' ability to fund their training.

We were founded by Anthony Rowett (Port City Fire Training), Joseph Petties, Enrique Bush, Todd Edwards (Fire Life Training), and Mickey Farrell (Top Floor Tactics).

We started as an effort by 3 firefighters to bring training events to South Alabama. As we grew we formed Alabama Firefighters Training Foundation Inc. a (501(c)3 non-profit organization that brought training to the State of Alabama. We have expanded our efforts beyond Alabama and have become National Firefighters Training Foundation Inc. and our mission is to bring experienced based training to firefighters nationwide. 

 

The organization has 3 programs:
1. Mobile Training Unit - Our Mobile Training Unit will be a fully equipped trailer with truck transport, that will contain all of the fire equipment necessary for any department in the State of Alabama to hold trainings at all levels. For a nominal fee and fuel, our staff will deliver the unit to the department, and will retrieve the unit once the training(s) have ended. Additionally, our staff consists of national fire training professionals, so we can also work with the department to help with their training goals.

 

2. Annual Fire Training and Conferences - Our conferences will have national training experts, and our registration fees will be nominal. Certificates of completion will be issued by the Alabama Fire College.
 

3. Rural and Volunteer Training Events - The training events will be similar to the annual training events and conferences but smaller. These events will also many times be held on weeknights so that attendance is easier for volunteer firefighters since volunteer fire departments typically hold their regular training nights on week nights. These events will be offered at a nominal fee or free of charge. Certificates of completion will be issued by the Alabama Fire College.
