How we got here

​Forty years ago, the professional fire fighters of Saskatchewan created a Burn Fund to improve medical care for burn victims, reduce the financial hardship when treatment outside the province is necessary, and support education for healthcare providers. Since then, the Saskatchewan Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund has raised more than $6 million dollars. The Burn Fund invested in the Burn Unit at RUH (the first one in Saskatchewan), the Burn Unit at Regina General Hospital, the Hyperbaric Unit at Moose Jaw Union Hospital,the Children’s Burn Camp, and awareness programs that reduce the incidence of fires and the severity of injuries. As well, ongoing survivor support provides funds for individual burn victims on their long and painful journeys of recovery.“As fire fighters, we see first hand the physical and emotional trauma faced by burn victims and their families,and those don’t stop when the fire is out. The scars can last a lifetime.
