You can donate a kidney, save a life AND still be a Firefighter! Living w kidney failure isn’t living. Consider giving a kidney to someone in need!
Kidneys for First Responders Expand Your Legacy is an initiative to raise awareness about the life- changing impact of becoming a living kidney donor among firefighters. It is a call to action for firefighters to expand their legacies beyond their significant contributions to public safety, and to save lives within the firefighter community.
This initiative also facilitates living kidney donations to support fallen firefighters’ families who are battling end-stage kidney disease.
The NFFF is partnering with the @1stresponderctr, the @knoxco and Kidneys for Communities. Learn more: kidneysforcommunities.org/fi… #firehero
Fire Chief @ChiefJohnButler speaks powerfully about the need to develop new strategies to recruit and retain the very best and brightest to carry our mission of serving our communities forward. A once-in-a-generation leader. @USMC @ffxfirerescue @vfca
All disasters are local but have a national impact requiring national efforts. In this moment, thanks to @DrLoriUSFA for keeping the issues of all firefighters front and center on a national level with @DHSgov @fema @usfire.
Fire Prevention Week is Fire Prevention MONTH in the HFD! Our CRR team is simply the best!

Memorial Helmet ceremony honoring the memory of Private Allen Lewis. He died in the Line of Duty when stricken in the firehouse after returning from an alarm. 102 such helmets will be hung at the locations where every member made the supreme sacrifice. Never Forget. #DCsBravest

Two days after 9/11, Queen Elizabeth II broke with centuries-old tradition and instructed the royal band to play the “Star Spangled Banner” during the changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
