About Us

We are a network of professional firefighters who believe in the sacred oath taken by all firefighters.

 

We believe that training, knowledge and experiences are cornerstones to the safe accomplishment of our duties. On the fire ground we are there for each other, the same goes when we’re off duty.

 

We exist to bring firefighters together to build experiences, knowledge and relationships.

Why We Exist

  • Motivate
    • Every firefighter started with the fire inside of us; let’s keep that flame lit.
  • Provide Community
    • Networking, accountability and support increases not only success, but protects our emotional health.
  • Knowledge and Experience sharing
    • With the reduction of critical incidents within our industry, now more than ever it is critical to learn from others. Questions such as: What worked well,  what didn’t work and what did you learn; all provide key pieces of information that should be shared.
  • Single Point for Resources
    • Provide a resource database for individuals trying to better themselves. Tools such as online learning drills/scenarios, articles and Grassroots Fire Training videos can be found here!

Mission Statement

Grassroots Fire Training is a community for professional firefighters to learn, share, and grow through a dynamic learning environment.

Core Values

  • Excellence
    • Excellence may never be achieved, but it should be a lifelong struggle to reach it.
  • Loyalty
    • Loyal to each other, the craft and the citizens.
  • Humility
    • The first step in learning is understanding that we all make mistakes. It is the person who accepts feedback as education instead of criticism that will become the better firefighter.
