National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
The NFPA mission: We help save lives and reduce loss with information, knowledge and passion.
Our information and knowledge comes in many forms:
- Support for the development, adoption and enforcement of our 300 codes and standards
- Research and data analysis
- Technical training and certification
- Public education
- Outreach and advocacy
NFPA brings collective passion to its work with a dedicated staff who come to work every day to solve the fire problem; some 6,000 volunteers who sit on our technical committees and provide expertise and wisdom; 65,000 members, and other stakeholders, who use our material and carry the messages to help save lives.
Our International Operations department works to develop and increase global awareness of NFPA, its mission and expertise by promoting worldwide use of NFPA’s information and knowledge.
