Henrico Firefighter Foundation
Assisting citizens before, during, and after a time of crisis, disaster, or emergency incident, including immediate emergency relief, monetary support, and education.
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.
On March 15th Jeff and Mel Miller, from First Colony Winery, presented the Henrico Firefighter Foundation with a $500 donation raised during the Winery’s It’s Chili in January event. The Board would like to thank everyone at First Colony for their support.
Safety

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.
