Brannvernforeningen

The Norwegian Fire Protection Association is an independent, non-profit foundation that works to achieve a safer society. By providing information, training and counselling, we assist individuals, businesses and organisations to take responsibility for their own fire safety. The Norwegian Fire Protection Association has undertaken this social responsibility since 1923. The organisation was established on the initiative of the insurance industry and the public authorities. It was founded because of a realisation that fires resulting in the loss of life and property had become a major social problem. The danger of fire will always exist. People make mistakes and technologies fail. Nevertheless, the Norwegian Fire Protection Association has a vision that fires should not occur as a result of human error or for technical reasons.
