While the USFD does and will always have certain executive costs inherent to carrying out our mission we strive to allocate 90% of our funds to providing invaluable training and equipment. The NFPA estimates approximately 70% of US firefighters are volunteers. Without volunteer firefighters this country would not adequately be able to respond and handle the incredible amount of emergencies in this country. Every year nearly 100 firefighters lose their lives in the line of duty; this number has remained the same year after year. The USFD believes providing training and equipment is vital if we expect this staggering death toll to decrease. Showing your support for our cause with time and/or money would be greatly appreciated, thank you. The USFD is an involved company. You will see our Directors actively participating in fundraisers and acquiring donations. We hand pick the volunteers that receive our funds, go with them to sign up for training, escort them to their classes and during out of town training we provide them with a hotel, transportation, and food. The USFD is with the volunteers every step of the way to ensure that dedicated and hard working individuals are receiving our grants and to give them support through their endeavors. We want our grant receivers to succeed to the fullest. The USFD's Board of Directors is made up of five individuals: David Cook - President and Treasurer Monica Terry - Vice President and Secretary Keith Redington - Board Member Jennifer Hartman - Board Member Karlee Kirton - Board Member
