The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) represents over 350,000 professional fire fighters and emergency medical personnel across the United States and Canada. Over 85% of communities across the U.S. and Canada are protected by its members.

The IAFF recognizes that every call is a potential HazMat call. Each year thousands of fire fighters are exposed to chemical and biological hazards in the performance of their duties. We understand that training students in hazards, defensive actions, and to OSHA and NFPA standards can help minimize and eliminate exposures. Our HazMat Training Department's mission is to train all levels of fire fighters in their own departments and customize the training to jurisdictional hazards. Our programs are developed and taught by highly trained fire fighters who bring valuable experience to the classroom. We are committed to ensuring fire fighters are equipped with the knowledge and skills to protect themselves and their communities.
