Burn Foundation has worked with career and volunteer fire service companies across the tri-state area in providing fire and burn prevention information and tools for their community outreach efforts. Through federal and state grants, the Foundation makes materials available to the local fire community to assist with their prevention efforts. For a complete listing of available BurnSafe™ materials, click here.
In addition, the Foundation presents several workshops annually on fire and burn prevention to help educate new fire services personnel in the area of fire and burn prevention. Specific programs tailored for the fire service community include:
Launching a Community Prevention Campaign
Understanding Juvenile Firesetting
Firefighters Journey to Recovery
Hot Issue
The Anapol Schwartz Family Mentorship Program
Recovery from a burn injury continues long after leaving the hospital burn center. Some people are uncomfortable with their looks and avoid going out in public. Some become isolated and feel cut off from their support systems. The Anapol Schwartz Family Mentorship Program matches recent burn survivors and family members with more experienced survivor peers. Drawing on their own experiences, specially trained volunteers provide information and support to burn survivors and family members just going through the process. Please contact us for more information or you may download an application or descriptive brochure.
