Fire fighter burn foundations and organizations are some of the largest donors and sponsors of burn units, burn camps and burn prevention campaigns across North America . The efforts that are made on behalf of burn survivors by fire fighters to ensure that the most advanced hospital facilities, treatment options and survivor support programs are extraordinary. The stories below showcase these outstanding efforts.
