DC Firefighters Burn Foundation
Our mission is to prevent burns & improve quality of life of burn survivors through programs, education, and research. We support firefighters who have been hospitalized by burn injuries in performance of their duties as well as their families, which includes transportation, lodging, and meals for family members that have loved ones in the burn center. We help fund the burn center at the washington hospital center, the only adult burn treatment center in the washington, dc area. We send and accompany young burn survivors from the dc area every summer to the children's burn camp in Connecticut. We provide burn education and prevention programs for citizens and firefighters, which includes a recent program specific to the senior population within the district. We share in the rehabilitation of recovery of burn survivors and their families through a wide variety of survivor support programs.
