From time to time, Firefighters will experience a hardship in their life. As public safety servants it is extremely important that they get assistance when needed and get quickly back on their feet able to protect and serve the public. Given the nature of firefighters, they always want to help another brother or sister firefighter. This has become one of our areas of expertise. Being part of our department working day to day with each other we are able to become aware of one of our own needing assistance as they will rarely ask for help. We have also assembled the troops and carried out work parties when member's homes were damaged from storms and floods, painting and upkeep of landscaping etc... When a member is injured or unable to do the work alone. The OFFBA is proud to give this assistance and handles all hardship situations extremely discretely and confidential.
