Africa Fire Mission

Mission: Africa Fire Mission is committed to increasing the sustainable capacity of fire departments across Africa. We accomplish this through training, empowerment, support and encouragement: Train– We partner with African governments, NGO’s, missionaries, schools and corporations to provide education and training to firefighters and local communities. We use Community Health Education to teach firefighters and community members in Africa to protect themselves from the dangers of fire. We provide fire prevention training & fire safety assessments to schools ensuring the students are able to learn in an environment safe from fires. Empower– We work to increase the ability of communities in Africa to respond to disasters and provide relief when disasters occur. Support–We provide personal protective equipment and communication tools to fire services throughout Africa to allow fire departments to operate in a safer and more coordinated manner. Encourage– We build the capacity of African fire services so that local communities are able to provide sustainable public safety and disaster management services. Core Values:  Partnership; Community Ownership; Development ; Transformation; Sustainability; Advocacy; Innovation

Africa Fire Mission engages students in our non-profit by connecting education and passion to our mission. Students can apply skills that are being learned in the classroom to volunteering and supporting our work in developing the fire service in Africa.
