Instructors were told to cancel all future travel until further notice.<\/p>\n<p>Firefighters, EMS providers and other first responders from across the country travel to the NFA&#8217;s Maryland campus for the federally funded institution&#8217;s free training programs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The NFA is a powerhouse for the fire service,&#8221; said Marc Bashoor, a former Maryland fire chief and West Virginia emergency services director with 44 years of fire safety experience. &#8220;It&#8217;s not a &#8216;nice to have.&#8217; It is the one avenue we have to bring people from all over the country to learn from and with each other. If we want to continue to have one of the premier fire services in the world, we need to have the National Fire Academy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The academy, which also houses the National Fallen Firefighter&#8217;s Memorial, opened in 1973 to combat a growing number of fatal fires nationwide. At the time, the National Commission on Fire Prevention and Control envisioned it to be the &#8220;West Point of the Fire Service,&#8221;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fasny.com\/magazine_articles\/26185\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to a report<\/a>\u00a0from the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Bashoor said the NFA was set to welcome a new set of fire safety officers for training next week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People had made their plane and travel reservations. And all of a sudden, they get an email that &#8216;Sorry, it&#8217;s been canceled,'&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s really upsetting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For firefighters, including those\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/wildfire-los-angeles-palisades-eaton-firefighters-canada-mexico-64e8c5f9da32e38ab4ca010ced7e5457\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">on the frontlines<\/a>\u00a0of deadly fires that\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/california-map-palisades-fire-us-cities\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">ravaged California this year<\/a><\/span>, having an essential training institution &#8220;shut down under the presumption that there&#8217;s waste, fraud and abuse&#8221; has been demoralizing, Bashoor said. He said losing NFA training could make the coordinated response that prevented additional deaths and destruction in California more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>FEMA and the National Fire Academy did not
