St. Paul Fire Foundation

The St. Paul Fire Foundation was established in 2010 to promote the health, wellness, safety, and education for the St. Paul Fire Department and the greater community.

Mission

Our Mission is to provide support to St. Paul Firefighters through health, wellness, and safety initiatives.


How We Help

Through our focus on cardiac health, cancer prevention, emotional trauma, and community engagement, we help to meet the current needs of our St. Paul Firefighters. The Foundation exists to provide additional resources for our St. Paul Firefighters.


History

The St. Paul Fire Foundation was formed in 2010 by a St. Paul Firefighter. After 12 years in the department, Captain Steve Shapira saw the need to help fill the budgetary gaps and provide health and wellness support and information to his fellow firefighters.

Board of Directors

The St. Paul Fire Foundation is led by a small group of members who serve as the Board of Directors. These Board Members have pledged their unwavering commitment to supporting the firefighters of the city of St. Paul and their families.
