Mission Statement :
We are a non-profit organization conceived to provide firefighters with an avenue to give of themselves and help the communities in which we serve.
Goals :
We provide assistance to victims of fire by supplying clothes, dishes, and other household items. It is our goal to educate children and adults about fire safety and the hazards of fire and smoke.
Background :
The Fraternal Order of Firefighters has been in existence for over 25 years. All Active members are professional firefighters employed by a city, county or state, and Associate members are pro-active in their communities to promote firefighter issues.
Highlights :
Our organization raises money from our members for various charities in and around the City of Chattanooga. In the past year we have donated to five different charities. We sponsor events for our members to gather and ‘let their hair down’, to ease the tensions of our daily regimen.
Summary :
By working with the community in these ways it is our opinion we build a bond and basic trust. We are therefore more effective in our efforts of fire protection, and provide a venue for our members to be more well rounded as firefighters.
