The New York State Association of Firesafety Educators was organized May 30, 1987.  It's purpose is to promote fire and life safety through the sharing of concepts and program information by fire and life safety educators throughout the state.  The scope of this work includes fire and life safety, fire and injury prevention, arson prevention, and burn prevention education.

The purpose of NYSAFE is to bring the fire and life safety educators of New York State together to provide a network for fraternity, educational enrichment, and increased involvement of all segments of the community in fire and life safety education.  The Association's objective is to improve the educational standards and opportunities for all fire and life safety educators and spread the fire and life safety message throughout our communities.

The primary educational effort of the New York State Association of Firesafety Educators is to encourage all of its members to participate in, and cooperate with all other emergency service organizations in fire and life safety education efforts, including the promotion of the state-wide EDITH drills conducted annually during the Wednesday evening during Fire Prevention Week.

The New York State Association of Firesafety Educators is incorporated as a 501 (c)3 Not-For-Profit Education Association in the State of New York.
