FireRescue1 has launched its annual What Firefighters Want in 2026 survey, this year spotlighting firefighter training. Based in FRISCO, Texas, the project will fuel FireRescue1’s state-of-the-industry report due in August 2026, featuring insights from fire-service leaders. The survey invites respondents who are currently active with a fire service agency, including career, volunteer, and combination departments in the United States or Canada. IPSDI supports the survey’s development and analysis, with IAFC lending promotional support. Editor-in-Chief Janelle Foskett explains the focus on training as a back-to-basics look at a foundational element of every firefighter’s professional experience, aiming to reveal gaps, highlight best practices, and spark conversations about how departments prepare their members for the job ahead. The article also includes a direct link to TAKE THE WHAT FIREFIGHTERS WANT SURVEY HERE. Readers gain context on how the results could inform policy, training standards, and departmental priorities across America.
