Who We Are

Our Mission

As advocates for firefighter air safety we provide education and training focused on air management strategies, tactics and best practices with a focus on associated air supply technologies to extend a firefighter’s air supply. Without a breathable air supply there is no interior attack. Today’s mega-size buildings and structures make firefighter air resupply challenging which can ultimately limit firefighting capabilities.

Best practices and advanced air supply technologies provide firefighters with More Air for More Time to prevent exposures to toxic fire smoke.

Our Vision

Our vision is for all firefighters to have a continuous, breathable air supply to do their jobs to serve their communities effectively and efficiently.
