Many of the needs of the widow/widowers and orphans of fallen first responders are overlooked after a tragedy. The Colorado Springs Firefighters Foundation (CSFF)
was formed to assist with filling the financial void. Donations to the Foundation go directly to families of firefighters who have fallen, firefighters who were injured, or firefighters that have suffered great tragedy.
Along with financial need, the CSFF
focuses on providing much needed education on how to negotiate the complicated process of Line of Duty Death, ensure the Death & Disability process is effectively completed, workers compensation issues are understood, and general medical benefit filings becomes transparent. The CSFF
is a resource to local firefighters for dealing with issues surrounding typical tragedies that affect them throughout a professional career.
