Richmond Firefighters Association donates to support new Acute Care Tower at Richmond Hospital Richmond Firefighters Association is taking a philanthropic leadership role by directing a $250,000 donation towards a new Acute Care Tower at Richmond Hospital. Each member has personally pledged through payroll deduction towards the donation. As first responders who are often first on scene helping with medical emergencies, Richmond Firefighters Association are true champions of local health care. Richmond Hospital’s original tower, more than 50 years old, needs to be replaced. Opened in 1966, the building is seismically unstable with obsolete and deficient facilities, and is unable to meet the needs of Richmond’s dramatic growth, including the number of seniors, the fastest growing in all of B.C. Richmond Firefighters Association, whose own facilities have been upgraded to withstand earthquakes, represents all of Richmond’s 215 firefighting, training, investigation, fire prevention, public education and mechanical staff who work around the clock to keep the citizens of Richmond safe. Richmond Hospital Foundation thanks the Richmond Firefighters Association and its members for their leadership and generosity to improve health care here at home, now and in the future.
