Donate to the Cause
The Bloomington and Sierra Leone firefighter relationship is just beginning and we can do all we can to make our contribution to help make it possible for this support to continue.
Goals for Bloomington Firefighter trip to Sierra Leone:
● Training firefighters and staff at the Fire Station in Sierra Leone
● To create a proactive fire force that will prioritize saving lives and properties, as well as public education.
● Mentoring of volunteers and community members toward sustainable support of the Fire Force.
● Develop strategies on how to engage the media toward effective public education on fire prevention.
● Donation of equipment and supplies to support life and property saving efforts
● Create a lasting collaboration with the City of Bloomington, Indiana Fire Department.
● To foster a meaningful relationship with a modern fire fighting force in the U.S.
To help with immediate needs, the American Professionals will provide fire related education on strategies and tactics to their fire force, train fire force personnel on fire prevention methodologies, and determine best practices to help mitigate the emergencies resulting in the highest loss of life. The collaborative partnership will require establishing multiple types of long distance communication platforms to leverage internet based technology to allow audio / visual meetings that can be used to provide additional training to the Fire Force.
We are collecting donations to push our benefit to the highest with this trip to support the Sierra Leone Fire Force
