The Los Angeles Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firemen’s Fund a one-hudred-year-old charity devoted to assisting families of firefighters who have been injured or killed in the line of duty. 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.
