Fire is an effective, inexpensive, and universally available weapon increasingly used by terrorists and violent criminals.
Inadvertent vehicle and structural fires are also common occurrences on and off the battlefield. However, military and
law enforcement professionals rarely train on how to survive even rudimentary fire-related events. Our Fire Survival
Services are the first and only certifying training programs that introduce the fundamentals of fire rescue into security
operations, in order to prepare individuals and teams to successfully deal with environments that involve fire and
fire-related hazards.

All Fire Survival Services coursework is conducted in our state-of-the-art, live-burn training facilities. The Fire Survival
Services are taught by active duty experts from the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) and overseen by former US
Special Operations personnel. Our goal is to provide military and law enforcement personnel with realistic and
challenging training in order to prepare them to face deadly fire-related environments in buildings and vehicles.
Through exercises that safely incorporate fire and smoke, the Fire Survival Services give each student extensive
hands-on experience inside live burning structures. Students and teams are afforded opportunities to establish tactics,
techniques, and procedures (TTPs) specific to their operational specialties. All learning materials and training equipment
will be provided by GRA Maven, however students are also encouraged to bring their own issued equipment to
incorporate into training.

“ This training should be mandatory.
I’ve encountered a few building
fires during combat missions and
would have certainly made
better decisions had I
attended the FOC beforehand.”
