OUR STORY
We started in 2022 as a consulting and educational company, because we noticed a lack of training and overall low performance of the firefighters around the world. We believe that with good training, proper techniques, and guidance, we can keep our family in the fire services safe in any situation.
Our goal is to reach the places where training is a luxury not a routine, so we can change that mindset and reduce the amount of injuries and deaths amongst the firefighter community.
We want everyone, no matter their situation or background, to have access to quality training, to be better prepared, and to have the confidence to do their job.
Reliable. Experienced. Dedicated.
