The D.C. Fire Department has been a long time customer of Scott Health and Safety purchasing millions of dollars worth of SCBA and components, Thermal Imaging Cameras and Gas Meters. This January, Scott made a very generous donation to the Foundation in the amount of $10,000. After a tour of the Burn Center Mr. Darren Lockridge, Regional Sales Manager and Tom Korb, Scott North America presented President Jason Woods and Vice President Jimmy DiGregory with a check for $10,000. This money will be used to purchase equipment for the Burn Center which always provides members of our department with care that far exceeds anyone’s expectations.

On January 9th the Foundation presented the Surgical Care Unit at Children’s National Medical Center a check for $30,000. With the new Patient Care Tower that opened at Children’s in November the Surgical Care Unit received a new state of the art facility. The Surgical Care Unit treats pediatric burn and trauma patients from the Washington Metropolitan Area. The money donated to Children’s will be used to purchase equipment for burn treatment, pain management devices, training for the staff, burn prevention education, and items to help young burns survivors stay at the hospital a little more comfortable.

On December 19th 2007 the Foundation presented Dr. Jordan and the Rehabilitation Staff of the Burn Center a check for $60,000. This money will be used to help with the cost of renovations to the rehab gym and to purchase new therapy equipment. Over the past few years the foundation has assisted the Burn Center with funds to assist in remodeling the Burn Center Intensive Care Unit, the Step Down Unit and in 2006 donated $13,000 to cover the cost of remodeling the Out Patient Clinic. Thanks to the support of the members of DCFD and generous donations from individuals and corporate sponsors these projects have been made possible.

On Tuesday February 19th, The Greene Turtle in Laurel will be donating 10% of the day's profits to the DC Firefighter's Burn Foundation. The hours are 11am to 2am and they are located at 14150 Baltimore Ave (Rt. 1). Go have a drink and something to eat and you will be supporting the Foundation.

Click here for a great news story on this past summer's burn camp.

On Saturday August 25 members of the D.C. Firefighters Burn Foundation along with the staff of the Burn Center and Children’s National Medical Center took a group of young burn survivors to the Chesapeake Beach Water Park. After a short bus trip from the fire department training academy and picnic we all enjoyed a day of fun in the sun. Before returning home the members of North Beach Volunteer Fire House hosted a pizza and ice cream party and gave the kids a tour of the firehouse. We would like to say thank you to Chesapeake Beach Water Park, North Beach Volunteer Fire House, Papa John’s and Schwan’s Foods.
