"Firefighters Quest for Burn Survivors" is a non-profit organization managed by fire fighters and civilians who volunteer their services and are dedicated to assist anyone that has been affected by burn injuries. Burn injuries are devastating, and the majority takes a lifetime to heal. The physical and emotional pain the victims suffer is something firefighters see on a regular basis. As a result, the organization was founded in 1996 following the Southern California Malibu Brush Fire. Since then this event has been an opportunity for communities to come together to make a difference in many peoples lives.
