Nonprofit Overview
Mission: The california fire foundation (cff) is a public benefit charity that provides assistance to victims of fire and conducts public education campaigns about fire safety and the devastating effects of fire. It recognizes the courage of fire fighters, and the perseverance and sacrifice of fire victims. The california firefighters memorial, located at the state capitol in sacramento, was built and is maintained by cff. It honors fire fighters killed in the line of duty and serves as a public tribute to the heroism of the profession and to the men and women who gave their lives to protect their fellow citizens.
Programs: The cff provides information about fire safety and conducts public outreach and education through its public education campaign, "firefighters on your side". This public education campaign teaches members of the public throughout california to prevent and prepare for fires through topics and strategies presented through person-to-person workshops, print and electronic media. The cff holds an annual public memorial ceremony to honor and remember the ultimate sacrifice of fallen fire fighters.
the cff assists victims and families devastated by fire and other major disasters by working closely with local firefighters in their communities. When disaster strikes, firefighters are the first responders and best able to identify unmet needs in their area and help carry out programs to enhance services before, during and after the alarm. The foundation provides emergency assistance and support to families of fallen firefighters and their families.
the california fire foundation provides scholarships to children of fallen firefighters.
