Ignite the Spirit MKE

Support Your Firefighters

Those of us within the Fire Department think of our fellow firefighters as a second family. We refer to each other as ‘Brother’ or ‘Sister.’ We typically spend 24 hours together during a shift, which means we often share meals, holidays, joyful times, and sometimes, even sorrow. It is through Ignite The Spirit that we invite YOU to become a member of our ‘Fire Family.’

Ignite The Spirit started as an answer to the question, “How can we be better prepared to help our Brothers and Sisters during times of need?” The ways in which we can help are endless. Our help can be as simple as stocking a freezer full of meals for a firefighter’s family while a loved one is battling a prolonged illness. It may be in the form of providing transportation to doctor appointments and treatments when no one else is available. Sometimes, help can even be monetary to keep the lights on and the worries low while a family gets through the worst of times imaginable. Simply put, Ignite The Spirit helps those who are dedicated to, and who risk their lives by, helping others every single day.

We appreciate all of those who have helped us along the way, and we thank you for your support as we continue to grow our mission. None of this would be possible without you.
