LiftMaster, a longtime supporter of the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation (NFFF), has partnered with the nonprofit again to raise funding that assists the NFFF in its mission to provide resources to the fallen firefighters’ survivors in rebuilding their lives and work within the fire service community while also reducing firefighter deaths and injuries.
