The library at the National Fire Academy most probably contains the nations largest collection of materials in the area of fire and emergency services. The library is staffed full fime by librarians and technicians. They process information requests for FREE and you generally have your material within 10 days.
Additionally a considerable amount of the collection is available via what is known as Interlibrary Loan (ILL). To get materials via ILL you go to your local library and give them the information about the item you desire. The NFA thens sends this your library who in turned checks it out directly to you. You then return the material to your local library.
