The Georgia Fire Academy sponsors a training weekend in partnership with the National Fire Academy each year at their facility in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The Georgia Fire Academy selects the courses and recruits and enrolls students. The National Fire Academy hosts the weekend and provides the instruction and course materials. Lodging is provided at no cost. Meal costs and transportation are the responsibility of the students or the sponsoring agencies.

One major initiative is the development and launch of the National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS), which will replace the legacy NFIRS. We kicked off NERIS development just 10 months ago as a partnership between USFA, DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), the Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI), and in collaboration with the fire service at-large.
