Family First. When one is injured, the whole family heals together.

The journey to recovery after a burn injury is not one that individuals face alone—it affects their entire family. The DC Firefighters Burn Foundation’s “Family First” campaign ensures that no one has to navigate this challenging path unsupported.

The Foundation

The D.C. Firefighters Burn Foundation is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization founded by active and retired Washington, D.C. Firefighters. Since 2004, the Foundation has been dedicated to assisting in the recovery and rehabilitation of injured firefighters and burn patients in the D.C. Metropolitan Area. We support burn research, treatment, and rehabilitation programs at Washington Hospital Center as well as the Children’s Burn Camp Program. Firefighters and members of the Burn Center have a special empathy for burn survivors. No other group witnesses more of the devastation that fire wreaks on the human body and spirit.

As a non-profit organization, we rely on individuals, community organizations, and corporate sponsors for support and donations, large and small. Since 2004, we have provided well over $1.25 million in support to The Burn Center at MedStar Washington Hospital Center and Children’s National Medical Center, along with many other essential programs for burn survivors from the Washington metropolitan area.
