Thank You for Supporting HCFR Foundation's Mission

---

 A huge thank you to Kidde for their incredible donation of 1,000 smoke alarms, a life-saving gift valued at more than $35,000. Because of this generosity, 250 homes across Hillsborough County will now be better protected, giving families greater peace of mind and a critical early warning in case of fire. 

 HCFR was honored to welcome the Mike Alstott Family Foundation  to our Public Safety Operations Complex. The Foundation generously provided full #Thanksgiving meals for all 46 of our fire stations, ensuring that every crew working the holiday can enjoy a warm meal together while serving our community.

Crews from Station 39 and Battalion 5/C had an awesome time repping HCFR at the Wawa grand opening on W. Hillsborough Ave, and yes, we took the win over our friends at HCSO in the hoagie-building contest!

Big thanks to Wawa for hosting such a fun event, and to our amazing community and LEO family for showing up and showing out. Great food, great people, and great times all around!

The team at CBRE of #NetPark stepped up in a big way by donating 35 lithium-ion smoke alarms to the HCFR Foundation.

These life-saving devices will be installed in homes across Hillsborough County, helping protect families who may not otherwise have access to them.  

 A huge thank you to the new MISSION BBQ  in Riverview for their generous donation to the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Foundation! Your support will fuel our mission to launch impactful new programs, benefiting both our community and the brave firefighters who protect it. 

It was an exciting grand opening at the Walmart in Apollo Beach, with hundreds lining up to join the celebration! We’re grateful for Walmart’s $3,000 donation to the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Foundation, thank you for supporting our firefighters and community.

Huge thanks to Florida West Coast Credit Union for visiting Station 17 and surprising our contest-winning crew with a brand-new Blackstone grill, we truly appreciate your support and partnership with the Foundation.

 Big thanks to LEGO at Brandon Crossings for hanging out with us at our Open House!           You brought the fun and creativity, and everyone had such a great time building with you. We loved having you there! 

 We want to give a huge shoutout to Kona Ice of Brandon for their generous donation at our #HCFR Open House! Nothing makes a weekend event better than Kona Ice rolling up to help everyone cool down with a sweet treat. 

 A huge THANK YOU to Rockin' Bouncies for bringing the FUN to the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, Foundation's Open House this past Saturday! Your team was absolutely incredible, professional, punctual, and safety focused from start to finish. The setup and takedown were smooth, the equipment was spotless, and the kids had an unforgettable time. 

The HCFR Foundation would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Josh, Richard, and Chris at Native Engineering for their generous donation to the HCFR Foundation. This support not only helps us assist our firefighters in need but also strengthens our ability to serve communities across Hillsborough County.  

A huge THANK YOU to the Knights of St. John for their continued support of the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Foundation! 

Your generous donation goes a long way in helping us serve the brave men and women of HCFR, whether it’s through emergency assistance, wellness initiatives, or programs that uplift our crews and their families.
