Bc Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund

the bc professional fire fighters’ burn fund (burn fund) is dedicated to promoting burn prevention and providing survivor support and recovery programs in the province of bc and the yukon. through its wide range of programs, the burn fund supports survivors and their families through their recovery journeys every step of the way. burn injuries are the third leading cause of injury related hospital admission for children under five. while other organizations have the ultimate goal of finding a cure, prevention is the burn fund’s cure. the vision of the organization is to see burn injuries prevented wherever possible and when they occur, assist survivors and their families for the best possible outcome through: a) survivor support programs and ensuring access to highly trained medical staff and essential equipment (establish the bc professional fire fighters' burn, trauma and high acuity at vgh in 1996.) b) funding the burn units at vgh and bc children’s hospital, among other hospitals.
