NFPA 1400 brings together multiple fire service training standards. At FDIC International 2026, Fire Engineering Technical Editor Brian Brush interviews Dan Shaw, retired Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department operations chief and coauthor of 25 to Survive, about the development of NFPA 1400, Standard on Fire Service Training, and the role firefighters can play in the standards process.
Shaw discusses how NFPA standards have evolved, why scientific research has become increasingly important to training decisions, and the distinction between a training standard and an operational standard.
