C National Fallen Firefighters Foundation Congress created the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to lead a nationwide effort to honor America’s fallen firefighters. Since 1992, the non-profit Foundation has developed and expanded programs that fulfill that mandate. Our mission is to honor and remember America’s fallen fire heroes and to provide resources to assist their survivors in rebuilding their lives. Sponsor The Annual National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend Each October, the Foundation sponsors the official National tribute to all firefighters who died in the line of duty during the previous year. Thousands attend the weekend activities that include special programs for survivors and coworkers, along with moving public ceremonies. Help Survivors Attend The Weekend The Foundation provides travel, lodging and meals for immediate survivors of fallen firefighters being honored. This allows survivors to participate in Family Day sessions conducted by trained grief counselors and in the public tributes. Offer Support Programs For Survivors When a firefighter dies in the line of duty, the Foundation provides survivors with a place to turn. Families receive emotional assistance through a Fire Service Survivors Network. This Network matches survivors with similar experiences and circumstances. This contact can be an important part of their healing. Families receive a quarterly newsletter and specialized grief resources. Our Web site provides information on Federal, State and local survivor benefits and other resources. With support from the Department of Justice, a new initiative is establishing response teams at the state level to provide assistance to departments and families when a line-ofduty death occurs. Award Scholarships To Fire Service Survivors Spouses, children and stepchildren of fallen firefighters are eligible for scholarship assistance for education and job training costs. Since 1997, survivors have received over $650,000 in scholarship awards. Help Departments Deal With Line-of-Duty Deaths Under a Department of Justice grant, the Foundation offers training to help fire departments handle a line-ofduty death. Departments receive extensive pre-incident planning support. Immediately after a death, a Chiefto-Chief Network provides technical assistance and personal support to help the department and the family. Work To Prevent Line-of-Duty Deaths With the support of fire and life safety organizations, the Foundation has launched the “Everyone Goes Home” campaign to reduce firefighter deaths. Its goal is to reduce line-of-duty firefighter deaths by 25 percent in 5 years and by 50 percent in 10 years. Create A National Memorial Park The Foundation is expanding the National memorial site in Emmitsburg, Maryland, to create the first permanent National park honoring all firefighters. The park includes a brick Walk of Honor that connects the newly renovated National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Chapel and the official National monument.
