Some of our ongoing public outreach programs include supporting local schools, civic associations and groups with their events.
Our Community
The men and women of Hillsborough County Fire Fighters, Local 2294 are dedicated to making our community a better place whether we are working on or off duty. We host and take part in several events each year to support local organizations. We also engage with our community in day-to-day activities. Take a look at some of what we do.
Our Charity
Hillsborough County Firefighter Charities mission is to provide community and educational support to the citizens of Hillsborough County and to provide a support system to the families of fallen fire service personnel. We have had the opportunity to impact the lives of several families of fallen firefighters, as well as a number of individuals within Hillsborough County.
“One man’s trash is another one’s treasure, but for fire fighters, too much of it packed into a home will turn all of it into dangerous fuel for active fires. Fire fighters are increasingly battling fires made vastly more hazardous by hoarding.”
“Containing a fire in a home where hoarding is an issue can take twice as many fire fighters and twice as long. In the best of conditions, when rooms are sparsely furnished and clear of clutter, fire fighters sometimes must blindly follow a search pattern along walls and furniture. Excessive clutter can throw fire fighters off and seriously hamper rescue efforts.”
