Survivors Assistance
Approximately 100 firefighters are killed in the line of duty each and every year in the United States. Compounding the tragic loss of a loved one, the families of our fallen heroes often suffer devastating financial strain. The families of fallen firefighters who leave behind a spouse and children are usually the hardest hit.
The Firefighters Support Foundation helps these families in this time of need by reserving a portion of donations for our Survivor Assistance program. This financial assistance is available to families of firefighters and rescue personnel killed in the line of duty and may be applied for by downloading the application here.
Click here to open the FSF Survivor Assistance Request form in Microsoft Word. After it is open, save the file to your personal computer and print it. Fill out the form completely and mail it to the Firefighters Support Foundation, PO Box 1075, Greenfield, MA 01302.
