The San Jose Firefighters Burn Foundation would like to recognize and thank Fire Engineer Doug Biddle who served as Sergent-At-Arms for the Burn Foundation from 2009-2011. Doug recently passed away unexpectedly, but his 30 years in the Fire Service and contributions to the Burn Foundation did not go unnoticed. Thank you for your service. "All Volunteer" Rest in Peace Doug Biddle.

"I have not seen sunshine in 7 weeks." That's the first thing Survivor Andy said when he stepped outside of the Burn Unit at Valley Medical Center earlier today. He is the DEFINITION of a Survivor: Humble, Grateful, Determined and Happy to be alive. Andy shared his gratitude for the staff at the Burn Unit. He was also very thankful for the San Jose Firefighters Burn Foundation that presented him with a $1,000 sponsorship as he starts the process to rebuild his life. If yo...u think your donations to this 501c certified non-profit don't make a difference, think again. We are all-volunteer and have been for the past 31 years so Survivors like Andy can live to see another day. San Jose Fire Fighters San José Fire Department

Thank you to the San Jose Sharks Foundation for hosting the Burn Foundation Sharks T-Shirt Fundraiser. Together with our community, $12,500 was raised specifically for Burn Garments at Valley Medical Center in San Jose. These compression bandages are used after surgery to protect fragile skin, control abnormal scar tissue, promote circulation, and decrease itching. A child who suffers a significant burn injury will often times need over a dozen surgeries in their lifetime to... accommodate their growing bodies. Thank you to the Sharks and all who purchased a T-shirt and supported this worthy cause! Since 1990. We are local. We are non-profit. We are all-volunteer. We are the San Jose Firefighters Burn Foundation.

RIP Alan Breslau. Burn Survivor, Founder and CHAMPION of the Phoenix Society.

Celebrating all types, colors, preferences, stories, inclinations, races, creeds, shapes, sizes and beliefs. Burns do not discriminate. No hate. One love. One world. One race. The human race. Shine a little love on one another. Look through a wider lens. Look through their lens. Believe in the power of us, not in the power of you or me. Trust thy neighbor. Love thy neighbor. Hold thy neighbor. Break free from the shackles of hate. Be strong. Be resilient. If any time in our history we need love, now is the time. Be the change. Be the catalyst. Be the spark of forgiveness. Feel the love. Rise up. Stand up. Pride. 2020.

Silver and Black. For a special survivor. Rise up.

The Phoenix. A symbol of rebirth for Burn Survivors. Rise up. Stand up. Fly away and THRIVE. From vocabulary.com a legendary Arabian bird said to periodically burn itself to death and emerge from the ashes as a new phoenix; according to most versions only one phoenix lived at a time and it renewed itself every 500 years.

Thanks to PremierOne Credit Union for the generous donation! "Together, we're just better." https://www.premieronecu.org/
