Welcome to the Firefighter Air Coalition

Welcome to the Firefighter Air Coalition. Our mission is to protect every firefighter from the deadly impact of smoke. We do that by

• Providing information, education, and training programs on air management best practices
• Sharing information and promoting methods that prevent line-of-duty cancer related to exposure to fire smoke
• Supporting jurisdictions across the country in the code adoption process to require firefighter air replenishment systems (FARS)
• Supporting and distributing scientific fireground and safety research

We are committed to ensuring firefighters have the training and tools necessary to keep them from running out of air at a structure fire. We advocate that firefighters stay on air from the moment they enter the hazardous zone through all post-incident protocols. And we are committed to reducing the number of illnesses and deaths directly attributable to exposure to fire smoke.
