What Does CFSI Do?

“….to educate Members of Congress about fire and life safety issues.”
Whether you are a member of the fire and emergency services, a public safety coalition, or the fire service industry, the United States Congress is more aware of your concerns because of the Congressional Fire Services Institute (CFSI).

Established in 1989 as a nonprofit, nonpartisan policy institute, CFSI is designed to educate members of Congress about the needs and challenges of our nation’s fire and emergency services to help them understand how the federal government can support the needs of our local first responders.

Members of Congress often turn to CFSI for information on a broad range of fire and emergency services issues. These are issues that confront firefighters and emergency services personnel — issues that address their health and safety and the training and equipment needed to perform their duties. We also share information with members of Congress about the important work of our public safety educators and the contributions being made by the public safety industry to reduce the threat of fires and other dangers in our communities.
