The National Advanced Fire and Resource Institute is a national level center for strategic planning, development, and implementation of fire, fuels, resource, and incident management skills and educational processes.

Vision – NAFRI is dedicated to the diverse interagency fire, fuels, resource, and incident management community in developing and enhancing learning experiences. The institute assists in the creation of innovative solutions that concern the all-risk environment.

Guiding Principles - Throughout all our many activities and relationships, we continually embrace six major goals that vitally affect all course participants, alumni, and faculty:
• Enhance opportunities to elevate course participant skills with continuous education, and knowledge.
• Encourage interagency support in the successful pursuit of excellence to educate.
• Build upon the rich history of fire and aviation’s accomplishments.
• Serve and engage all alumni in learning opportunities, particularly through the Lessons Learned Center.
• Connect alumni to each other through effective communication, facilitating a spirit of dynamic knowledge transfer between alumni with diverse interests, talents, and backgrounds.
• As stewards, NAFRI will engage in strategic planning; implement, direct, and review authorized programs, modify goals and operations as deemed necessary; and assess course participants, alumni, faculty, and administrative performance regularly.
