Fire Corps

BRACE is proud to run the Fire Corps program for the City of Pensacola. Fire Corps® is a national grassroots effort to help fire/EMS departments enhance their services by engaging with community members to assist with non-emergency tasks. Whether they are conducting fire prevention and life safety education, installing smoke alarms, or a myriad of other activities, community volunteers can make a real difference. Our community support helps departments increase their capacity and allows first responders to focus on operational duties, training, and emergencies. Fire Corps is administered by the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC).

Fire Corps trainings are offered quarterly to educate and certify community volunteers in providing firefighters and other emergency personnel with immediate medical attention including rehydration, treatment for smoke inhalation, and the prevention of life-threatening conditions such as heatstroke and heart attack. Fire Corps Members are deployed at the request of the City of Pensacola.
