Every year, the IAFF
Burn Foundation sponsors the IAFF National Children's Burn Camp
in Washington, D.C. The Foundation draws a young burn survivor
(ages 13 to 15) along with professional fire fighter/counselor
from each of the more than 40 regional burn camps throughout the
United States and Canada to attend the National Camp. The
chosen individuals are brought to Washington, DC for week-long,
once-in-a-lifetime trip where they tour the monuments, memorials,
and museums; visit the White House and the Capitol; meet national
leaders; and spend time with local fire fighters. Since its inception
over a decade ago, the IAFF National Children's Burn Camp has
earned an international reputation as a model for burn survivor
support.
