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

IWK Hospital Recieves New Burn Care Cart
In August staff at the the IWK Burn Unit submitted specs and a request to the NSFFBTS for a new custom design burn care cart. The NSFFBTS Board of Directors approved the request and on November 26 the IWK took possesion of their new equipment. The cart carries all the supplies to treat burn patients and is mobile so it can be used in the emergency department, burn clinic, and sedated procedure room. Staff are very happy as it makes their job much easier. This is one of the many ventures your generous donations go to in aid of local hospitals and survivors of burn injuries and we thank you for your continued support.
