The Congressional Fire Services Institute (CFSI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan policy institute focused on educating members of Congress about the needs and challenges of the United States fire and emergency services. Based in Washington, DC, it aims to ensure federal training and funding align with the realities faced by first responders, manufacturers, and fire service leaders. The organization positions itself as a resource that provides education, hands-on training programs, and white papers to convey the consensus position of the fire service on federal fire programs and legislation, with the goal that first responders are not left to operate alone on Capitol Hill.

CFSI serves lawmakers and fire service stakeholders by offering briefings and content that reflect various disciplines within the field, including culture, technology, and industry-driven training developments. Founded in 1989, it emphasizes its role as a neutral source of information and consensus-building within the broader government relations landscape related to fire and emergency services. Recent activities include participating in and promoting the National Fire and Emergency Services Symposium and Dinner, reflecting ongoing engagement with policymakers and industry partners in the Washington, DC area.
