The LRT Program provides assistance and emotional support to firefighters, their families and departments following the aftermath of a burn injury.

This team consists of FFBI board members, firefighters and burn survivors whose mission is to provide assistance to firefighters, their families and departments following the aftermath of a burn injury. The L.R.T. worked closely with the UC Davis Regional Burn Center staff to establish an immediate response system in which notification is made as soon as a firefighter is admitted to the burn unit. The firefighter is then assigned a L.R.T. member who will serve as their communication between medical staff, media and concerned family and friends. The L.R.T. member will also help the family with basic necessities such as meals, toiletries, or any special arrangements needed. The L.R.T. members understand the importance of providing assistance and emotional support to a family when the unexpected happens.
