Pictured: Minister George Abbott with Fire Fighters and cheque for $2-million to go to the BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund Building.


The Burn Fund began in 1978 and is the charitable arm of the BC Professional Fire Fighters Association. The organization intends to fundraise a significant portion of the capital costs for this project.

The Burn Fund Building will also provide accommodation for family members facing prolonged stays in Vancouver during loved ones' acute and reconstructive phases of care. The Province awarded a separate $2-million grant to the same fund in November, 2007 for eight housing units to accommodate burn survivors and their families.
