Our
Mission

We are firefighters who offer support and give back to children fighting critical illnesses.

Their Story

Every critical illness a child is battling, is a fight we will give our all too. We strive to ensure that each child we reach will stand with the support of our firefighters and our community. 

This is our story.

Joy

When a child is facing an intense battle, in serious illnesses, a quick visit to hang out at their home brings an abundance of joy.

Gifts

These times are especially difficult for families. We want to provide as much assistance as possible. Providing gifts, once in a lifetime experiences, or needed medical devices are great ways that we help the families. 

Relationships

After our initial visit to the family, we don't stop there. We continue to build a relationship to support and help the families in any way that we can.
