Engage your community with an educational and entertaining Fire Safety Trivia Night that raises funds for your local fire department. Plan and organize trivia questions related to fire prevention, firefighting, department history, and general fire safety. Host the event at a suitable venue like your firehouse or a community center or collaborate with a local establishment like a pub, restaurant, or cafe. Charge teams a participation fee and limit team sizes to encourage fair competition.
In the end, announce winners in various categories, and consider giving a portion of the ticket sales to both the fire department and a local charity. For the past two decades, Ignite the Spirit has assisted more than 800 families of the Chicago Fire Department who needed support.

Burn injuries are emotional as well as physical, requiring many adjustments for growing and maturing children. Firefighters purchase special items as requested by the staff of the burn care facilities. These are usually non-medical items that are not covered by insurance. This has included pediatric wheelchairs, exercise equipment, and a teddy bear or fire truck just to cheer up a child.
