Enhancing the personal and professional lives of Atlanta firefighters
All programs of the Atlanta Fire Rescue Foundation's Impact Portfolio share a common goal of increasing the recruitment and retention rates of the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department.
The Atlanta Fire Rescue Foundation understands that to have a thriving city, we must support neighborhoods and communities by funding workforce development and community initiatives, continuing education, and improvements at fire and EMS stations.
