AFM Instructors

AFM’s instructors are dedicated individuals who frequently provide teaching and training to firefighters, first responders, and communities. Our instructors are experienced in both in-person instruction and virtual training.

Each year, AFM has over sixty instructors who travel with us. These instructors represent just a fraction of our incredible supporters who lead our efforts to train, empower, support, and encourage.
