You are never alone.

The International Fire Foundation provides disaster relief and step by step recovery guidance by your side at all times.

All disaster relief charitable programs are free at all times.

Charitable Programs

High risk populations should be able to live in a risk free environment. For elderly, veteran, single parent, and target risk groups; FireGuide collaborates with local volunteers and resources to secure fire safety devices, mechanisms, or features to create a safe haven to live, connect and thrive within the community.

If you or a loved one live in an unsafe environment, please engage with our community leader below.

The Recovery Program provides all Connect Program education, information and consumer protection services virtually, with 24/7 remote access. To better serve communities affected by disaster where no physical FireGuide volunteer branches operate.

FireGuide provides step by step assistance throughout recovery. FireGuide volunteers provide long term recovery education to ensure affected families can make informed decisions. Assistance is given from the initial incident all the way through the recovery journey. Remote support now includes policy, claim assistance and consumer protection.

The goal of FireGuide is to support communities and first responders affected by disaster.

The International Fire Foundation connects affected communities and first responder agencies before, during and after emergency to all disaster relief resources. Under the program, in-person volunteer emergency response teams (ERTs) deploy to serve, protect and connect affected communities after emergency incidents. ERTs deliver incident support, consumer protection, step by step recovery education, long term support, and necessary disaster relief to heal affected communities after emergency.

Community Connect collaborates with first responder agencies to support local charity events benefiting the affected community.

Community Connection encompasses IFF's mission to make safer, resilient communities before, during and after disaster.
