About INTERNATIONAL RESCUE AND EMERGENCY CARE ASSOCIATION

The International Rescue & Emergency Care Association (IRECA) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that organizes education, skills competitions, and technical-rescue programming for emergency responders. It operates an annual conference in partnership with TEEX that combines classroom education, hands-on skills training, and multi-discipline rescue challenges that draw teams from industry and municipal emergency services. In addition to its conference and challenge events, IRECA maintains membership services, scholarships, internships, awards (including the Max Spray Award), and partnerships with corporate and training organizations to support professional development across the rescue and emergency-care community.
