Our Mission

The Wildland Research and Protection Center is determined to improve the industry standards for the health and well-being of all of our cherished firefighters and first responders before and after their distinguished careers. Through strategic partnerships with health care information technologies, research groups, and foundations, we will develop the resources needed to better understand toxic exposure risks and consequences that so many of our heroes face every day.

By providing firefighter organizations and policy makers with a better idea of the short and long-term health risks caused by on-the-job dangers, we will be more prepared to take the necessary steps to protect our heroes on and off the job. Just like they do for us.
