welcome
For 62 years, the Dade County Firefighter's Benevolent Association (DCFBA) has promoted efficiency, cooperation, harmony and social relationships among its membership. From its beginnings, under the leadership of Harry Brown Jr., the Benevolent continues to strive for family unity. The annual Easter Egg Hunt, Christmas Parties for adults and children, Summer Splash Day, Picnic, Everglades Campout of Fishing Tournament, are but a few of the benefits afforded to members and their families. Dade County purchased the Benevolent's big canteen truck in 1989. This tractor-drawn mobile kitchen has been in service throughout the tri-county South Florida community. Representing the good fellowship of Miami-Dade Firefighters as far away as the Delray Beach St. Patrick's Day Parade. Two additional smaller canteen vehicles were added in subsequent years. Fifty-nine well-intentioned Dade County firefighters made the benevolent association a reality in 1958 and its tradition of goodwill continues to this day.
