Description
The Wichita Firefighters Relief Association was founded in 1929 for the sole purpose of receiving and disbursing funds for the benefit of the members of the Association and their beneficiaries. We continue that tradition today, helping local firefighters cover expenses and providing them with protection in case they are injured. The WFRA is a not-for-profit organization managed and run by a board of six firefighters selected from the membership it serves. Below you can find both our bylaws and current board of directors.
