At the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, we are driven by a singular purpose: to honor and support the brave men and women who risk their lives to protect our forests, homes, and communities. Wildland firefighters are a unique group of heroes, facing some of the most dangerous and unpredictable conditions in service to others. Our mission is to ensure that they and their families receive the recognition, support, and care they deserve.
What We Do
Support in Times of Need
We provide immediate financial assistance to injured firefighters and their families, as well as to the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. In their most challenging moments, we stand beside them as a steady source of comfort and relief.
Advocacy and Awareness
Wildland firefighters are essential to our safety and the preservation of our natural landscapes. Yet, their work is often overlooked. We strive to raise awareness about the risks they face and advocate for policies that ensure their well-being, fair treatment, and recognition.
Building Community
The wildland firefighting community is a family, and we believe no one should face hardships alone. Through outreach, events, and resources, we foster a sense of unity and connection among firefighters, their families, and those who support them.
