Welcome to the Burn Foundation. We are a Philadelphia-based, non-profit organization established in 1973 to help keep our community safe from burns and fire and to improve the lives of burn patients, survivors and their families. While our home base is in Philadelphia, we serve the counties surrounding Philadelphia, southern NJ and the state of Delaware.
The Burn Foundation website is a resource of information regarding prevention programs for all age groups, basic burn care first aid, legislation affecting community and home safety, and support for burn survivors. See all of our available resources for fire services and burn prevention. We work closely with local fire fighters and first responders to spread the word about safety precautions and practices that will keep families safe from burns and fire. Comprehensive burn prevention starts with the youngest children and goes all the way up to include our senior citizens. Building awareness of the everyday dangers that exist and the impact of a brief careless moment is one of our driving goals.
