This is a message from the Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Fire Administration. 
------------------------------------
Every firefighter death is a tragedy. No matter if it is one or nine the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation will be there to support, assist and honor every one of these lost heroes, their families and co-workers.

From an initial response of a Local Assistance State Team, to our Survivors Network, to the National Memorial Weekend in October, our commitment is the same: To help those affected in re-building their lives and to never forget the sacrifices their loved one has made.
Your tax-deductible donation can:

• Help families attend the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend.
• Provide a scholarship for the child, stepchild, or spouse of a fallen firefighter from any state.
• Expand the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Park in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
• Provide resources to help fire service personnel deal with the loss of a firefighter.

You can help us honor their sacrifice.
