The purpose of the Society is to advance the science and practice of fire protection engineering and its allied fields, to maintain a high ethical standard among its members and to foster fire protection engineering education. The Society supports the development of the annual Professional Engineer licensing exam in fire protection and the grading of those exams under the auspices of the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying. Several volunteer committees and task groups work under the Society's auspices on technical projects to further advance the state of the art. The Society's activities include a series of educational seminars and short courses, technical symposia and conferences, books and publications, designed to advance the state of the art of fire protection engineering and provide technical information to the fire protection community.

Our second goal is to help all others learn about NASFM's vision – for a safer America. Believe what you see in the national and international news about NASFM. NASFM is – and will continue to be – outspoken when it comes to protecting human life, property and the environment from fire. But there is much more to the NASFM story beyond what you hear in the evening news. Our Mission: "To protect human life, property and the environment from fire. To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the State Fire Marshals' operation." Occupational Safety and Health Act - OSHA 's mission is to send every worker home whole and healthy every day.
