Taking Care of Our Own
Thanks to a Department of Justice grant, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation offers a training program to help fire departments prepare for the worst — a line-of-duty death or serious injury. During the year, the Foundation will offer the training at various locations across the country.

Fire service personnel and families who have lost a firefighter in the line-of-duty helped develop this one-day course called Taking Care of Our Own®. It covers pre-incident planning, survivor notification, family and coworker support, and benefits and resources available to the families.
