Fire Pit Sign Engraved at WFF
Fire Pit Sign Engraved at WFF
Every year, we auction off a fire pit plate to be engraved with the name(s) of those who are important to us. This idea started when we had a series of fatalities in the Missoula area and we wanted to memorialize their names. Now, we sell the plate for those who support the families of our fallen. The fire pit that the engraved plate will be on is located at the Wildland FIrefighter Foundation in Boise, and each year, during family day, the kids will light a fire and roast their marshmallows. Join the former donors on a plate, and you can show your support in perpetuity.
