Our mission is to honor and remember America's fallen fire heroes, to provide resources to assist their families in rebuilding their lives, and work within the Fire Service Community to reduce firefighter deaths and injuries.
The 2020 Annual Impact Report outlines how, through your support, we’ve been able to continue our efforts to honor and remember America’s fallen fire heroes, assist their families, and to reduce firefighter line-of-duty deaths and injuries.
Through a New Lens is a virtual event that will give Fire Hero Families the opportunity to try some new lenses— through a variety of free virtual sessions. Opportunities include sessions about grief, loss, and change, and offer practical life skills to help with day-to-day concerns.
