THROUGH THE EYE
OF A FIREFIGHTER

 

A 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Founded in Boise, Idaho. Our mission is to raise money to support fire prevention education programs and to provide emergency financial support through the Boise and Meridian Fire Department's Burn-Out Funds. These funds provide emergency assistance to local community members displaced by fire disasters.

"Through the Eye of a Firefighter" is Brandon's work as he was passionate about the fire service, training and EMS. Brandon passed on November 21st, 2013 after undergoing a surgery to repair a back injury suffered while on duty. This is one of many reminders Brandon left for us to reflect upon.
