BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund Details
The BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund (Burn Fund) is dedicated to promoting burn prevention and providing survivor support and recovery programs in the Province of BC and the Yukon. Through its wide range of programs, the Burn Fund supports survivors and their families through their recovery journeys every step of the way.Burn injuries are the third leading cause of injury related hospital admission for children under five. While other organizations have the ultimate goal of finding a cure, prevention is the Burn Fund's cure. The vision of the organization is to see burn injuries prevented wherever possible and when they occur, assist survivors and their families for the best possible outcome through:a) Survivor support programs and ensuring access to highly trained medical staff and essential equipment (establish the BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn, Trauma and High Acuity at VGH in 1996.)b) Funding the burn units at VGH and BC Children's Hospital, among other hospitals.c) Delivering burn and personal safety awareness education reaching all ages and stages of life.Established in 1978 by the BC Professional Fire Fighters' Association, the Burn Fund is supported by more than 4,000 professional fire fighters from 53 communities in BC and the Yukon. These fire fighters dedicate and donate their time and skills to support burn survivors. They also work to increase the public's knowledge about fire and burn prevention. The Burn Fund Executive and Board of Directors are represented by professional fire fighters, medical staff, and volunteers from across the province.The Burn Fund has had over 40+ years of success in supporting survivors, recruiting volunteers, gaining public trust, developing partnerships with the medical community and increasing revenues. It also boasts an incredible Burn Fund Centre, opened in 2016, which was significantly supported by fire fighter locals, generous partners, and diverse communities.
