Wildland Firefighter Foundation

The Wildland Firefighter Foundation provides vital financial and emotional assistance to families of wildland firefighters who die, or are seriously injured in the line of duty. Each year, firefighters lose their lives or sustain major injuries while involved in wildland fire efforts. In the event of a firefighter injury or fatality, monetary assistance is frequently very slow to arrive from their home agency. The Foundation bridges this gap by granting monies directly to a firefighter’s family to make ends meet in the interim. The Foundation is fully funded and supported by donations of those who care for these professionals from all walks of life. The Wildland Firefighter Foundation is an IRS recognized 501(c)3 non-profit, located in Boise, Idaho. For more information visit http://www.wffoundation.org/.
