TAKE ACTION TODAY: Reopen the National Fire Academy
The Georgia State Firefighters Association is deeply troubled by the federal spending cuts that have affected the National Fire Academy. Canceling on-campus and field delivery classes until further notice is a significant blow. These classes are not just a resource but also a lifeline for first responders in the United States and worldwide, providing them with training, knowledge, and expertise that cannot be obtained at the state and local levels.
The potential impact on public safety is a grave concern. The National Fire Academy and Emergency Management Institute, with its long tradition of providing the highest caliber of training, is a cornerstone of emergency services' higher learning, both nationally and internationally.
