The Illinois Fire Service Institute (IFSI) is the statutory State Fire Academy for Illinois. It serves as the oldest continuous fire training institution in the United States. Since 1925, first responders from across the state and world have relied on IFSI to deliver hands-on, innovative, and top quality training, education, and research.
Our Mission: Helping Firefighters Do Their Work Through Training, Education, Information, and Research
Located in Champaign, the main IFSI campus offers a 28-acre training ground with class-A live fire props and training equipment. Courses are delivered on campus, at state regional training centers, and local fire departments across the United States and internationally.
Since 1980, the Crisis Prevention Institute has helped millions of individuals begin a journey of positive, supportive, and empathic caring for people of all ages.
• We believe in the power of empathy, compassion, and meaningful connections.
• We consider personal safety and security the antidotes to fear and anxiety; and that listening leads to understanding.
• We know when those who care for others feel prepared and confident in their abilities, they can make the world a better place.
