The Fire Fighters Foundation of Houston announced the donation of life-saving equipment and more to the Houston Fire Department, the first deliveries made under a charity that had existed for barely a year.
The Foundation was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation in 2006 to provide support to HFD. The same announcement set the date for a second annual Fire Fighters Ball, turning the inaugural fundraiser into an annual commitment.
