Our mission is simple: to care for those who dedicate their lives to protecting ours. We provide assistance to injured firefighters, helping with critical needs that may not be covered through other means. When a firefighter makes the ultimate sacrifice, we step in to ease the burden on their loved ones by helping plan and coordinate the traditional elements of a Firefighter’s funeral, ensuring they receive the honor they deserve.
Thanks to the unwavering support of our members, the Detroit Fire Fighters Association (DFFA), generous donors, and sales from our store, we’re able to continue this important work. Beyond direct assistance, the Fund is deeply engaged with the Detroit community. True to the spirit of Detroit Firefighters, we host a variety of events throughout the year that foster community connections and raise funds for those in need. We also proudly sponsor teams and groups that carry on the tradition of service, including the Detroit Fire Department Honor Guard, Clown Team, Hockey Team, and the Michigan Fallen Firefighters Memorial Rig.
At the heart of the Detroit Firemen’s Fund is a commitment that spans generations—supporting our firefighters, honoring our fallen, and serving the community we call home.
