The Fire Protection Association of Southern Africa was established in 1973 as a non-profit technical advisory and training organisation and operates mainly on a membership basis.
Over the years the Association has developed a range of membership options and technical, training, and fire safety management services that are recognised for their quality, professionalism, and value.
Our commitment to continual improvement through our SABS ISO 9001 listed quality management system means that the services we offer are reviewed regularly in terms of our Articles of Association, and the needs of our members and clients.
The benefits will add value to any institution or business having an interest or involvement in fire engineering, fire protection, fire prevention or fire safety management.
Membership categories include Individual, Corporate and Local Government Fire & Disaster Management (LG&DM) Membership, as well as the special category of Stakeholder Member for contributing insurers.
As part of our commitment to improving standards, quality and ethics regarding Fire Protection, Fire Engineering and Fire Safety generally, Individual and Corporate membership is subject to a commitment to the FPASA’s recently introduced Membership Code of Best Practice.
Please note: We are not affiliated with Fire Protection Associations (FPA’s) for veld and forest fires.
Fire Protection Associations (FPA) are voluntary organizations formed by landowners in wildfire-risk areas to prevent, predict, manage, and to assist with the extinguishing of wildfires under the National Veld and Forest Fire Act (Act 101 of 1998). FPAs are co-operative structures established between Local Authorities, the State, private landowners (and their lessees) in areas of high wildfire risk.
