Safety-Training-Education-Prevention

The Henrico Firefighter Foundation was established to aid and assist the Henrico County, Virginia Division of Fire firefighters, first responders, emergency response personnel, emergency medical services personnel, civilian staff, retirees, and volunteers to accomplish the mission of the Division of Fire.

The Foundation assists citizens before, during, and after a time of crisis, disaster, or emergency incident, including immediate emergency relief, monetary support, and education. This is accomplished by supporting all things necessary to accomplish the mission of the Division of Fire, including assistance with ceremonies and receptions for firefighter graduations, retirements, promotions, and recognition programs. Additionally, the Foundation provides grants and scholarships for Division personnel to attend conferences, seminars, training, educational events, and other programs.

A big Thank You! To Altria and its Give Together employee grant program, which donated $10K to the Henrico Firefighter Foundation to enhance our Smoke Alarm Initiative. Through this initiative, the Foundation provides free smoke alarms to Henrico homes without working alarms. (Henrico firefighters install them at no charge.) This grant from Altria will purchase hundreds of smoke alarms–and allow us to expand the program to apartments as well. Most citizens think their taxes fully fund their local fire departments. This is one example showing how additional money and effort can save lives.

Safety

Fire vehicles carry gift cards that allow firefighters on scene to provide funding for clothing, food or temporary housing for victims after house fires.

Training

The Foundation can pay for supplemental training and conferences not in Fire Department’s budget.

Education

The Foundation supports the Division of Fire’s Public Education efforts through the following initiatives: smoke alarms, cooking safety, electrical and appliance safety, candle safety, carbon monoxide alarms, heating safety and home escape plans.

Prevention

The Foundation is a partner in the County’s Smoke Alarm Initiative: providing free smoke alarms for homes without working alarms
