The Vancouver Firefighter Charities (VFC) is an organization operated entirely by the Firefighter employees of Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services (VFRS). While the VFC operates its own events, under its own direction, it does so with support from the VFRS, through provision of fire apparatus and other considerations at some of the events that the chariable contributes to. This support is very much appreciated.

The VFC is proud to partner with many other charitable organizations throughout the Lower Mainland to provide presence, volunteers and support at their own events. In addition, VFC-owned programs provide financial support to a number of organizations, meaning that single donations go a long way in the community.

Vancouver Firefighter Charities is incredibly diverse in terms of its scope and realized mandate. The charitable participates in program development and execution, numerous fundraising activities, and actively partners with other important charitable organizations throughout theLowr Mainland.

Through the charitable, members of VFRS are deeply involved in the community and spend thousands of hours supporting dozens of worthwhile charities, including BC Children’s Hospital, Muscular Dystrophy Canada, the BC Lung Association and the BC Professional Firefighters’ Burn Fund.

Fundraising is a tradition that started almost a century ago, and it was made official in 1998 with the launch of the Vancouver Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society, now named Vancouver Firefighter Charities.
