Fire Station Fund
Providing essential equipment and station improvements for Atlanta Firefighters
Atlanta Fire Rescue Department manages 36 fire stations across the city. Over 1,200 firefighters live and work in these facilities, responding to fire and medical emergencies every day.
Maintaining the station houses and assuring every firefighter has access to the same amenities is a key priority of both the Department and the Atlanta Fire Rescue Foundation. Donations to the Foundation’s Fire Station Fund help make that possible.
The primary purpose of the Fire Station Fund is to assure that all station houses are equipped with essential equipment like commercial-grade washers and dryers that remove carcinogens from their turnout gear. Additionally, each station house receives an annual allocation from the Fund to purchase items like exercise equipment and appliances selected by Station residents.
Supporters who make a $10,000 annual donation to the Fire Station Fund can honor a particular station with their gift. The donor’s name will be added to a recognition plaque at the Fire House and will have the opportunity to visit the station during the year the gift is made.

The primary focus of the fire station fund is achieving equity and ensuring that all Atlanta fire stations have access to the same amenities. As a result, our intention is to have every station represented with a minimum of $5,000 in funding available to them throughout the year. Your support makes that possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a supporter select a station to honor with their donation.
Answer: The Atlanta Fire Rescue Foundation assists in matching every supporter's donation with an Atlanta Fire station needing support.
Can a supporter select which station they want their donation to go to?
Answer: Yes, however, based on the needs of the Department, the Foundation prefers to match funders with underrepresented stations to ensure that every fire house receives support.
