About us

LATAM PCI is a non-profit initiative that was born in 2018 with the support of AMRACI-Mexico, ABSPk-Brazil and ANRACI-Colombia with the support of IFSA-USA, to unite the efforts of the different organizations involved in fire safety in the Latin American region and change the way of seeing the problem of fire by making fire protection a relevant issue from a social, technical and regulatory point of view.

Working on three fundamental axes, it focuses its efforts on issues of regulation, education and visibility, which allow the good practices of the organizations that comprise it to be added and shared with the different actors responsible for regulation in the region, integration of statistics, education and updating programs for specialists, as well as public education programs for both authorities with jurisdiction and the general public.
