Each year Nova Scotia Fire Fighters respond to thousands of emergency calls. Fire fighters respond to the problem as quickly as possible,
but the commitment and dedication to the injured does not end when the emergency is under control and trucks are back in the station.
Incorporated by local fire fighters in 1983, the Nova Scotia Fire Fighters' Burn Treatment Society is a non-profit charity that has contributed burn care equipment and educational materials to our local hospitals, assisted burn survivors with post hospital care, and supported burn survivors with their ongoing issues as they continue the long struggle to recover physically and emotionally. The reward is immeasurable as we witness milestone moments in a survivors long road to recovery.
If you want to learn more about us and perhaps interested in becoming a member of the Society please feel free to contact us

Celebrating 80 Years of
Life Experience & 45 Years of Dedication

In the last few weeks of this year, Doug and Iris Castel both celebrated their 80th birthday. Anyone who has attended a Society fundraiser will know this couple. Doug is the only remaining original member serving with the Society since it's humble beginnings back in 1983, 45 years ago. He continues to serve on the Executive Board as a strong advocate for the Society. Doug retired from the Halifax Fire Department in 2010 but stayed on the Society's Executive Board of Directors because he believed in what the Society was accomplishing and wanted to see it continue. Even though she is not an official member of the Society's Board, Iris has been a steady and reliable figure with Doug at vitually every Society fundraising event and at every Camp Connect. On Ocober 21 the Society celebrated the Castel's birthdays and long term commitment to the Society with a supper and a pair of new Society jackets. We all look forward to working with both of them for many years to come!
