Recognition & Acknowledgement
Why just tell them when we can SHOW them. Recognition and support are vital for our firefighters, who face immense challenges and risks daily to protect our community. Acknowledging their bravery and dedication fosters a sense of belonging and appreciation. This recognition not only motivates them to perform at their best but also plays a crucial role in their mental health and well-being, mitigating the effects of stress and burnout from the job. Additionally, public acknowledgment strengthens community trust and reinforces the essential bond between firefighters and the people they serve (us). By showing them we appreciate their contributions, we ensure that our firefighters remain resilient, committed, and ready to respond whenever they are needed.
awards ceremony
Friends of Springfield assists in funding the annual Awards Ceremony which honors Springfield Firefighters for their heroic efforts. The ceremony is not only a chance for us to recognize their unwavering commitment to protecting our community, but also to support camaraderie amongst the crews and their families.

acts of support
We lovingly refer to this category as our ‘random acts of kindness’. From delivering meals to the hospital for all the SFD family who fill the waiting room in times of crisis, to delivering a prepared meal to all 13 stations on Thanksgiving, acknowledgement is how we show our love and support for all that these men and women do every single day. You can go as big or as small as you wish, as any of it says “we are here for YOU”.
