For the Firefighters
Uniform Families Foundation was born in a fire family. Our founder is a fire wife. Her husband is an LAFD EMS Captain who was first on scene at the Palisades Fire and stayed twelve days. This is the corner of the foundation built for the people who wear the turnouts: active, retired, rookie, and the ones still trying to get in.
Four forums. One fire family. Moderated and members only.
