About FACS
The Firefighters Assistance Charitable Society was created to provide help to Firefighters and their families by ensuring they have easy access to meaningful assistance and resources during their time of need. It is our objective to provide Firefighters with that same compassion, generosity and selflessness that Firefighters demonstrate everyday by helping the public and risking their lives and well-being in the line of duty.
