MISSION

 
The Westborough Fire Foundation is a 501(c)3 independent non-profit organization that was created to support the Town of Westborough’s Firefighters and Emergency Management Agency. It is the mission of the Westborough Fire Foundation to provide additional financial resources to support the efforts of the Westborough Fire Department to increase firefighter safety and enhance the quality of its service to the community by advanced department training, equipment and technology, firefighter safety and wellness, and community outreach programs and resources through a collaborative effort and community engagement. The Foundation is committed to the support and long term enhancement of the Westborough Fire Department. Our goal is to advocate, enrich and support innovative initiatives and programs that ensure the safety of the Westborough community.  This mission is accomplished through gifts, grants, and bequests from individuals and organizations.

Wellness and Safety

Support access to counseling and psychological services for critical incident stress management to all firefighters. This will help reduce the negative impact of occupational stress and ensure the continued safety of firefighters. Provide funding for extractors which are industrial-grade washers that remove carcinogens and other harmful toxins from dirty turnout gear.

Training and Development

Leadership development, continuing education, and fire training are at the forefront of public safety preparedness. The Foundation helps the WFD with funding for technical programs, specialized training, and a professional curriculum to develop leadership skills among firefighters transitioning to command staff positions..

Community Outreach

Community outreach and education are essential in strengthening the WFD’s ability to engage effectively across the diverse population it serves. Special focus is on its most vulnerable populations – children, senior citizens, and those with limited to no English proficiency. The Foundation helps the WFD by providing enhancements to improve communications and expand public engagement in Westborough.

Enhanced Equipment and Technology

​A firefighter must be prepared to respond to “all hazards” while also facing new risks to their health and well-being. Leading-edge lifesaving equipment and technology will address increased complexities with innovative solutions.
The Foundation’s goals are to support additional funding for life-saving tools and equipment for firefighters, support crucial training, development, wellness, and education programs that would otherwise go unfunded. From cancer prevention and behavioral health to youth outreach and leadership development, the Foundation funds programs that impact todays and future generations of the WFD.
