International Firefighters Assistance, Inc. (IFA) was established in 2008 as a registered 501(c)3 non- profit organization in the state of Florida to provide education and training to firefighters and emergency rescue workers in underprivileged countries. One of IFA's primary roles is to distribute donated firefighting, EMS, and public safety equipment to those countries in need. Many of these developing countries' lack the necessary protective equipment and toolsused to support their local communities during emergency and IFA is committed to providing them with the proper equipment. Through our relief programs, we hope to strengthen local communities by assisting its citizens to better prepare for emergencies and disasters. Currently, our efforts are on focused in The Republic of Haiti. With this we hope to bring awareness to the important of public safety and help the people of Haiti to develop a safer and secure emergency response system.
