About Our Organization

Firefighter Air Coalition (FAC)

The Firefighter Air Coalition (FAC) is a dedicated team of fire service leaders who are committed to sharing their knowledge and experience on firefighter air safety. All of this education and wisdom is brought to the forefront by FAC, which is dedicated to firefighter air management, air management technology, research, and training.

The industry has made tremendous progress in technology and tools to provide safer and healthier working environments for firefighters. Unfortunately, what will never change is the human element required to get the job done. Whether it’s a 30- or 45-minute bottle, that amount of time becomes the lifespan of a firefighter entering an IDLH environment.

Who We Are

The Firefighter Air Coalition is a 501(c)4 non-profit organization dedicated to advancing firefighter safety through education and training on air management best practices.

Our vision is for all firefighters to have the tools and expertise they need to operate safely and effectively, protecting themselves and the communities they serve.
