Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Ethnic Studies, Race
Mission: The mission of the cyanide poisoning treatment coalition is to focus the required attention and resources on the deadly and life long consequences of breathing modern day fire smoke which contains toxic amounts of hydrogen cyanide. In 2017 the coalition expanded its onsite training program to include cancer, illness and disease plaguing the fire service. New tactical approaches were included in the training to educate firefighters how to reduce their exposures to fire smoke, thereby minimizing their risk of contracting deadly or disabling disease.
Programs: The coalition hosts a free educational program known as "know your smoke: the dangers of fire smoke exposure" to regional audiences somewhere in the united states on a monthly basis. In 2017 instructors conducted 11 training sessions throughout the united states, including the us navy emergency services division in honolulu. In 2017, more than 2000 firefighters encompassing 950 fire departments were trained about the deadly impact fire smoke has on firefighters and how to prevent the exposure. Accomplishments are measured by departments changing standard operating procedures to mandate that firefighters wear their air at all times and that fire grounds must be monitored for toxic gases before firefighters can take off their air pack. In 2017 the coalition launched a new educational website which allows firefighters to download all training programs to create department specific training opportunities.
