The Leary Firefighters Foundation was established in 2000 by actor Denis Leary in response to a tragic fire in Worcester, Massachusetts that claimed the lives of his cousin, a childhood friend, and four other brave firefighters. We are the only foundation in the U.S. that funds equipment, vehicles, education, training, and technology for firefighters nationwide. We work to bridge the gap between public funding and the needs of firefighters and their families so they have the best available equipment and training to meet the extraordinary challenges of a perilous job.
