WSI Fire and Emergency Services in Iraq is the primary emergency response capability for 20 United States Department of Defense (DOD) sites. The start-up of 20 fire sites simultaneously represents the largest single fire and emergency services effort in a combat zone in over 30 years and quite possibly in modern times. We are providing the DoD with a full service support program ranging from fire prevention, one of the most critical tasks involved in start-up programs, to fire suppression. The prevention measures include fire inspection services, pre-fire planning, fire education, and safety training services.

Life in Iraq is challenging but is not for all firefighters; however, for those who have what it takes to operate in a combat region, it can be one of the most personal and professionally rewarding experiences in a lifetime.
