Fire and EMS providers – whether paid or volunteer – are the heart of every Wisconsin community. When our fire fighters and EMS personnel are facing physical or mental health issues, personal tragedy, or other challenges, it is our duty – and our honor – to help our brothers, sisters, their families, and their communities in times of need. Programs provided by the Charitable Foundation include Mental Health Peer Support, Individual Disaster Assistance, and the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin State Honor Guard. We are also proud supporters of the Wisconsin Fire & EMS Memorial located in Wisconsin Rapids. 
Our Disaster Assistance Program provides immediate assistance to Fire Fighters and their families in their time of need including: line of duty death, severe illness or traumatic injury, treatment assistance, referrals to additional resources, and other traumatic personal situations. Since 2016, we have raised over $900k for firefighters and their families during times of need.
We support the mission of the Wisconsin State Fire & EMS Memorial to maintain a memorial honoring all Fire Fighters in the State of Wisconsin – recognizing those who have given their lives as the ultimate sacrifice as well as honoring those who have and continue to serve their respective communities.
To assist and enhance their mission to render tribute and to honor our fallen brothers and sisters as well as to assist departments and locals in times of need; and to properly display and show respect toward the colors we fly and this proud profession we serve.
The Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin Charitable Foundation supports first responder health and safety. Our programming includes an active peer support process. Peer support provides first responders with access to trained peers that can confidentially talk about mental health concerns and connect fellow responders with access to helpful services.
This conference brings expert speakers in their respective fields together to tackle some of the unique challenges faced by those who serve. Spouses and family members are welcome!
