NATIONAL VOLUNTEER FIRE COUNCIL

 
The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) has established an International Relief Fund to assist the Japan Firefighters Association in their relief efforts. With thousands dead and thousands more still missing, as well as continuing aftershocks, mounting nuclear reactor problems, and millions of people without water, food, or heat, Japan has a long road ahead
toward recovery. Join the NVFC in assisting the Japan Firefighters
Association with rescue and cleanup efforts by making a contribution to
the International Relief Fund. All funds raised by the NVFC for the
Japan relief efforts will go to the Japan Firefighters Association.

The Japan Firefighters Association has assisted U.S. firefighters in
times of need through donations to 9/11 relief efforts as well as
contributions to the NVFC’s Volunteer Firefighter Support Fund, which
provides financial assistance to volunteer firefighters in the wake of a
state- or federally-declared disaster. Members of the Japan
Firefighters Association have visited the U.S. many times to meet with
leaders from the NVFC and local departments across the U.S., including a
visit in October. NVFC Executive Director Heather Schafer attended a
conference of the Japan Firefighters Association in Tokyo last month,
and NVFC Chairman Philip C. Stittleburg previously attended an
international fire service conference in Tokyo in 2008.

Please make a contribution to help aid the Japan Firefighters Association during this time of extreme crisis.
