The Tennessee Firefighters Burn Foundation, Inc. was established on July 11, 2002 by members and friends of the Nashville and Franklin Fire Departments. The primary objective of the Foundation is to assist burn survivors in their recovery and to support burn units and medical facilities that provide care for burn victims. Providing burn awareness education through various community programs is also a major purpose of the Foundation.

Firefighters recognize that burn injuries are one of the worst insults that can be inflicted on the human body. Because of the nature of their jobs, firefighters and emergency medical personnel are often the first to come into contact with those who have suffered burn injuries. They take a personal interest in survivor treatment, rehabilitation and return to a normal life.

The foundation operates and provides funding for a summer camp experience for children who are all burn survivors. Camp Phoenix is staffed mainly by professional and enthusiastic volunteer firefighters, EMTs and paramedics. The camp program provides safe and fun outdoor programs for kids ages 6-17. Our goal is to promote healing of the heart and mind, personal enrichment and new friendships.
