Fire Fighters Message & Programs

We are thankful for those who stand behind our fire fighters and help make our programs possible. If you have made a pledge on the phone or would simply like to contribute, please click the link below.

By helping us, you are supporting the men and women who make Columbia a safer place to live and raise our families.
As fire fighters, we realize that we may need to go beyond the call of duty.
That is a call we proudly rise to answer.

Dear Fire Fighter Supporters:

I would like to take the opportunity to thank each and every one who is supporting us through the purchase of our Proud Supporter Decals.

The Columbia Fire Fighters Association represents approximately 77 fire fighters in Columbia. Our members are employed by the City of Columbia. We represent the Association and not the city.

For your information, we are not a charity but a non-profit professional organization, therefore your decal purchases are not tax deductible as a charitable contribution for Federal Income Tax.

Sincerely,
Kris Weber

The Columbia Fire Fighters Association Local 4381 purchased and presented a Philips Heart Start On-Site Automated External defibrillator (AED) to Dr. Tina Weatherford principle of Brown Elementary School. The Columbia Fire Fighters Association also provided Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and AED training to over forty teachers as part of their yearly in-service education.

The Columbia Fire Fighters Association was able to provide this equipment and training to Brown Elementary School through the sale of concert tickets to the residents of Maury County. The Columbia Fire Fighters Association presents various music artists each spring and fall in concert in Nashville Tennessee. The proceeds from these events are also used to place public education materials in schools in Columbia, support local non-profit organizations and educate members of the association.
