With ever-increasing demands from virtually every sector of the community, Houston’s municipal budget has seldom adequately funded more than the fire department’s bare necessities.

The city of Houston’s priorities have been to keep fire stations doors open, maintaining and training a sufficient number of firefighters for Houson’s Houston'sreasing population, and providing the necessary support structure to enable firefighters to respond in a timely and efficient manner. Recent advances in technology, training  and new equipment demands have too frequently fallen further down the priority list. As a result, these demands rarely receive the funding and necessary attention. The Fire Fighters Foundation of Houston is committed to filling the gap between the needs of the Houston Fire Department and the limits of government spending. As a fully-volunteer organization. our extremely low overhead enables us to immediately turn nearly every dollar collected toward the mounting needs of the Houston Fire Department.
