During the 2nd Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference in Destin, Florida, March 23-27, 2007, the attendees contributed to a raffle and raised $1,088 for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation (WFF). The IAWF Board of Directors voted to match this and sent a total of $2,176 to the WFF.
We also owe our thanks to the companies that contributed items to be raffled. They are:
The IAWF held similar fund raising events for the WFF at 8th Wildland Fire Safety Summit in Missoula, Montana, in 2005, and also at the 1st Fire Behavior and Fuels conference in 2006 in Portland, Oregon.
The IAWF believes in the mission of the WFF, which is to “honor past, present, and future members of the wildland firefighting family”. The WFF also provides emergency support services to the families of injured and fallen firefighters. For more information about the WFF, visit their web site at Wildland Firefighter Foundation.
