The Fire Is Out,
But The Battle Is Just Beginning
OUR MISSION: Firefighters For Healing supports burn survivor patients & helps firefighters and first responders pivot after a line of duty injury or medical diagnosis. We care, we listen, we encourage the family as they navigate the first hours, days and months.
Our Transitional Healing Center offers 12 “home-away-from-home” suites to families of burn survivors or firefighters/first responders who are being cared for at the Hennepin Healthcare Burn Center and other Twin Cities hospitals. Families who qualify for emergency housing are immediate family of a burn survivor or first responder, who is from/lives in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, or has been transported to the level 1 trauma at Hennepin Healthcare or Region’s hospital.
“Firefighters for Healing is truly one of the greatest gifts I have ever received. We had a house fire. All of our family was flown to Region’s Hospital. Your apartments were our refuge. Our family has had such a terrible tragedy but your kindness has helped us have hope for a better tomorrow..” ~ The E Family
Honoring One of Our Own
On May 5, 2024, at the age of 40, Firefighter Joseph Charles Johns died much too soon.
Johns began his fire service career on September 2, 2015, as a duty-crew firefighter for Eden Prairie. He also served the Eagan Fire Department since Jan. 13, 2020.
It was his wish that donations in lieu of flowers go to Firefighters for Healing to help other firefighters in need.
