About the BrotHERhood Initiative

Metro-Dade FireFighers IAFF LcoaL 1403 has developed a group of your peers called "The BrotHerhood Initiative" in an effort to assist the brothers and sisters of MDFR with needs that arise from circumstances beyond their control. It functions under the Local's Firefighter Charities for the benefit of their personnel both active and retired.

The group consist of brothers and sisters who are there as facilitators to help in the broad spectrum of issues that come with our profession. The issue can be as simple as a member needing help doing routine work around their house or a ride to therapy that they can no longer accomplish due to an injury or it can be as complicated as PTSD or substance abuse. The group puts together the member in need with the appropriate resource. At time, the resource might be as simple as a group of fellow firefighters mowing an injured firefighter’s lawn, on other occasions that are more complicated the resource might be a professional counselor.

The BrotHerhood Initiative will not be successful without everyone taking on the responsibility to watch for one and other. The fire service is our second family and we all get to know our fellow brothers and sisters as we work with them. We can tell when a fellow firefighter or officer is just not 100%; maybe it is a sick family member at home or just some relationship difficulties. Most of us just need someone to talk to and vent, be that someone. The BrotHerhood Initiative needs you to be "Our Eyes and Ears" out there. The BrotHerhood Initiative’s sole purpose is the well-being of our members and nothing else, we report to no one.
