About the Foundation
The D.C. Firefighters Burn Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by active and retired Washington, D.C. firefighters. Since 2004, we have been dedicated to assisting in the recovery and rehabilitation of injured firefighters and burn survivors in the D.C. Metropolitan Area.
Our support extends to burn research, treatment, and rehabilitation programs at MedStar Washington Hospital Center and Children’s National Medical Center as well as the Children’s Burn Camp Program. Firefighters and members of the Burn Center share a deep empathy for burn survivors, having witnessed firsthand the profound physical and emotional toll that fire can inflict.
🔥 Every dollar raised goes directly toward burn survivor support, education, and life-changing programs.
Your generosity makes a lasting impact on the burn community—thank you for your support!
