SALLYPORT METHODOLOGY

Build, train, transition and oversee

Sallyport provides an integrated capability, not only within the fire and emergency division, but also with applicable specialist divisions, such as HAZMAT, environmental remediation, emergency medical technicians and others.

Our approach; build, train, transition and oversee, provides clients with a solid foundation, specialist application, industry standard training, and long-term management. The combination results in stable operational environments, with high levels of prevention, precise and timely resolution of incidents, and the perfect balance of training for the future, and managed oversight.

Sallyport is currently the largest provider of certified international fire fighters, emergency medical technicians, environmental Engineers and HAZMAT specialists in Iraq. It is also the primary provider of fire and emergency services training to the Iraqi Civil Defense Directorate. It is the only company in Iraq that has trained Iraqi Firefighters to IFSAC FF I Certification, provided equipment and provided the services with qualified personnel.
