The organization also assists in providing medical care who those who suffer long-term, on-the-job injuries such as lung disease and work-related cancers.

The Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firemen’s Fund is part of the Los Angeles Fireman’s Relief Association and is a vital organization that is making a difference to the families of heroic firefighters in the Los Angeles area. For example, in 2009, donors help provide a full college scholarship to the daughter of a firefighter who was killed in the line of duty.

Alex Kouba is a passionate supporter of this organization and would like to encourage others to get involved. Los Angeles is one of the most dangerous cities to work as a firefighter in the United States, and it is important that we stand behind these brave men and women who have and will put their lives on the line each day.
