Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Fundraiser
Please join us for a Sunday afternoon fundraiser supporting the Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for life association. This event will be held on a private deck overlooking beautiful Alamitos bay, the same bay that Kevin spent countless days chasing spotted bay bass and halibut.
The Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association
“Our purpose is to assist young men and women in the Fire Explorer Program with financial support and material donations.”
The Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association is a non-profit organization started by Kevin Woyjeck’s parents, Joe and Anna Woyjeck. It was founded as a way to honor and carry on Kevin’s legacy after his line of duty passing, battling the Yarnell, AZ wildfire on June 30th, 2013, alongside 19 crewmates. KWEFLA helps young men and women successfully participate in fire career related explorer programs, just like Kevin did himself. Kevin truly enjoyed the explorer program and what it had to offer him in reaching his dreams.
Fire explorer programs give young adolescents aging 15-21 years of age access to tools that help them follow their career goals, while shadowing real firefighters volunteering their time to teach and pass on knowledge. It fosters a priceless on-hand learning environment.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Support from the community, public and private sector is essential to our ability to support Fire Explorer programs across the country. To date, we’ve been able to donate gear, resources and funds to departments across California, Alabama and New York. To learn more how to make a difference, click here.

Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for life is helping in North Carolina.
Howdy Y’all,
Pictured on the left is Asheville, North Carolina Fire Explorer Garrison Barker, along with his family. On September 27th, Hurricane Helene struck Asheville with devastating force, and Garrison and his family lost everything, including their home.
It's hard to imagine—one day, everything is normal, and the next, it's all gone. What remains is the strength they find in one another.
To assist them during this challenging time, the Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association has made a $1,000 donation directly to the family, providing them with much-needed support for lodging and food.
This would not have been possible without the generosity of our incredible supporters. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love the smiles!
Kevin would be proud.

Fire Explorer family in Asheville loses everything in the hurricane.
We are deeply committed to supporting a Fire Explorer family from Asheville, North Carolina, who lost their home and everything they own in the recent hurricane. Through the Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association, we are going beyond our usual focus on fire gear and education to meet their immediate, basic needs in this challenging time.
A special thank you to our long-time friend Paul Oyler, who is personally delivering the donation to Asheville. Paul’s actions truly demonstrate the power of community and compassion.
We are incredibly grateful to all of our supporters. Without your help, this donation would not be possible. As we anticipate more requests for assistance from Explorers affected by the flooding, your continued support is more important than ever.
Kevin would be proud!
Thank you all,
“The Board”

343 firefighters and nearly 3000 people were murdered 23 years ago today when the Twin Towers were attacked.
It was one of those days in your life where you know where you were when you heard the news.
I was a fire captain for the Los Angeles County Fire Department and was on duty at fire station 50 in the city of Commerce when I heard.
Our on coming crew and our off going crew were glued to the TV. Every firefighter that was going off duty was held at the station across our department. Our phones were ringing off the hook, from our families, from the department and from scared citizens. I remember a round table talk with our crews while watching it all unfold. We had a job to do,
we knew our families were home without us and we had no idea when we would see them again.
It was a terrible day that I will never forget.
Traveling to NY after to help the FDNY was incredibly emotional, I wish I could have done more.
RIP 343
I will never forget!
