Be A Friend

We owe a world of gratitude to the men and women of the Denver Fire Department for the work they do around the clock, every day to keep our citizens safe and secure. Founded in 2007, Friends of the Denver Fire Department supports our firefighters by educating the community about the Department and raising funds for firefighter health and wellness programs. Friends of the Denver Fire Department also promotes fire safety and prevention and works to improve the quality of life at local fire stations.

Get in on the act by participating in Fit For Fire 5K, volunteering, making a cash or in-kind donation, or just keep up with us by joining our mailing list. Whatever you do, next time you see a Denver firefighter, say thanks and tell them you're a Friend of the Denver Fire Department.

CURRENT INITIATIVES
Our most important ongoing initiative is to build public awareness about the needs of the Denver Fire Department and Denver Firefighters — particularly those needs that are not met through the city budget. This year Friends of the Denver Fire Department is focused on campaigns to support projects in three major areas of concern: Firefighter Safety: Protective Gear & Promethian Boards, Fire Safety: Prevention and Escape, and Citizen Disaster Response Training.
