Fire safety works best when it is understood.

Education is a core part of the Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association’s mission because strong outcomes depend on informed decisions, consistent interpretation, and reliable systems. Through educational resources on fire protection equipment and systems, early-stage fire protection, and fire codes, FEMA helps support a better understanding of how layered fire protection works in practice and why clear, consistent, and enforceable requirements matter.
