WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH A FIREHOUSE YOU WALK THROUGH THE HEART OF AMERICA

This cost-effective, highly successful model focuses on encouraging a local circle of friends to form a circle of strength: A Fire Department – Community Partnership encouraging long-term relationships. This model has fostered assistance in Los Angeles to FS 27, 29, 37, 40, 52, 58, 61, 76, 77, and 94. For FS 61, our assistance has included much-needed station repairs since 2002 (painting, carpeting, kitchen appliances, training room and office furniture and exercise equipment, landscaping, storage sheds and security gates, tools, securing training seminar space, a high-rise training exercise site, and local support for 7 annual Miracle Mile Safety Summits on Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security: “READY OR NOT! – RESILIENCE”). We support community-wide adoptions (“friends”) of fire stations and advocate “No Station Left Behind.”
