Next Meeting: Thursday, October 14th, 2010 Dinner at 6PM and Meeting at 7PM
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.
