Firefighters and EMS Fund

Firefighters and EMS Fund The Firefighters and EMS Fund is dedicated to advocating for the safety and well-being of firefighters and their families in our political process.

There are few groups of professionals in American society that deserve our respect and gratitude more than American firefighters. Of course we revere our military servicemen and women and support our police but unfortunately, the dedicated professionals of local American fire departments are left out of the discussion in our national political process. These men and women serve for one purpose: To

risk their lives to save others. Whether the emergency is a house fire, car accident or a catastrophic attack on American soil, firefighters readily sacrifice their own-well being to secure the safety of others. But when was the last time we heard anyone in government really speak up for these heros and advocate for their well-being? That is exactly why the Firefighters Support Fund is dedicated to advocating for the safety and well-being of firefighters and their families in our political process. This group of public servants deserve a unified voice in government and our coalition of everyday citizens, public officials and organizations are dedicated to providing that voice for firefighters, the local heros across our country that require the support of their fellow citizens and public officials.
