Emergency social crisis response team for your community
Our MISSION
Our aim is to bring about social change by 'Extinguishing the flames' of injustice, poverty, hardship, social isolation, prejudice and fear.
Our Motto is
​
"SAVE PEOPLE IN CRISIS BY PULLING THEM FROM THE FIRE"
​
A fire is a crisis!
​
When a building is on fire, you call the fire-brigade, but who do you call when there is a crisis in your personal life?
​
Firefighters is a group of local volunteers from various backgrounds and walks of life who help to build a bridge between the needs of the communities we live in and the people who supply those needs, whether it be ourselves or networking organisations.
​
We all get lonely, struggle, feel isolated and forgotten.
Our goal is to be available 24-7 for those who want support in their hour of need
