Our main objective is to promote the professional standards of the fire industry through close liaison and lobbying with government and official bodies, as well as other key organizations in the industry.

We aim to inform our members and the general market about the latest legislation and how it can affect their businesses. We provide technical knowledge and advice regarding fire safety in the UK. We also provide training courses to members and non-members alike on all the latest technical and legislative topics affecting those working with fire safety.
