Important Changes to the NFA
Applications Process

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is in the process of eliminating the use of the Social Security Number (SSN) when applying for FEMA training.

National Fire Academy students interested in applying for FY 2013 on-campus (10-/6-/2-day) and off-campus (10- and 6-day) courses will need to register for an interim Student Identification Number (SID) that will be used in place of the SSN. This number can be obtained through the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) Training Administration System (CTAS).

Welcome to the new NFAAA Website

Dear NFA Alumni,

We are very excited to welcome you to the new NFAAA website. Please spend some time browsing through the site to learn more about the NFAAA and what the benefits of membership are. We've added links that we like, forums to chat on (by curriculum), and other terrific aids to get you around the National Fire Academy, the USFA, FEMA and the fire service at large. The Board of Directors continues to strive towards making the NFA learning experience worthwhile and memorable by consistent contact with the NFA Administration, the Superintendent, his Deputies and the Deputy U.S. Fire Administrator. As you embark on the forum pages, do not use these for negative issues. Use them for sharing and keeping in touch as they are intended. As always, feel free to reach out to any Board member or myself. We will bring your problems to the right people and get them resolved.

Don't forget to check back often as we continue to update information, links and sub-pages. We are also looking for ideas for the website, written articles, points of information, photos of interesting moments on campus, etc. Our Tuesday Night Alumni Lecture Series at the NFA has been deemed a success, thanks to all of you who have presented while going to the Academy. We can do the same here with articles of interest and general networking.

For all of our long-time members, we invite you to click here to personalize and dowload the membership certificate. Proudly display that you are a member of the NFAAA family.

This is your site. Take advantage of it! Stay well, stay safe and we'll see you around the campus.

Chief Ron Kanterman
NFAAA Administrator
