Overview
The Burn Fund helps burn survivors and their families.
The journey from burn patient to burn survivor is a long and painful one. It is sustained by hope, conviction and unparalleled courage.
Confronting the challenges imposed by a lifetime of pain or disfigurement is just the beginning for most burn survivors. They must also struggle to heal the acute emotional and psychological trauma that can be equally painful and daunting.
The Burn Fund is a registered charity established in 1978 by the BC Professional Fire Fighters Association. The Burn Fund provides life saving, life supporting, and life enriching services to the people in British Columbia.
More than 3,600 professional fire fighters from forty-nine communities around the province are building the Burn Fund’s vision. They dedicate their time and skills to support burn survivors and increase the public’s knowledge about fire and burn safety issues through the work the Burn Fund does with its Burn Awareness, Research and Prevention Programs.
The BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund website offers an on-line source of information to burn survivors and their families, fire fighters, media, healthcare and education professionals. The goal of the web site is to educate, empower and inform people about fire safety and burn fund issues that concern health and well being. |
