Its purpose is to focus on educating and raising awareness of potential fire hazards in the workplace, schools, and especially in the home, whether it be a free-standing home or an apartment building. Our goal with this program is to encourage individuals and those in a position of building management, to stop and think about the dangerous ways that a fire could ignite, spread, and issues with con
tainment, and proactively mitigate those risks. The ultimate program goal will be to work with like-minded fire-prevention organizations, firefighters, and individuals to educate, and enhance safety measures and enforce building codes, where we are able to be effective over time. While we know that not every fire can be prevented, mitigating the number of fires in apartment and office buildings, and accidents in the home to alleviate even one person from suffering would be a huge win for our overarching mission to revolutionize the world of burn care. Brief Background on Brighter than the Fire: Zachary Sutterfield is a young man, that suffered severe burn injuries during an apartment fire in college. The goal of he and his family has been to spread the word about the importance of fire safety and to try and save as many lives as possible in doing so. Zachary and his mother, DJ Sutterfield are now part of Sons of the Flag, dedicated to being part of our overall mission to revolutionize burn care. We are also proud to honor the memory of the five friends and fellow students that Zachary lost that morning in the fire. They are each represented in the "flame" as part of the logo you see at the top of this page. We are so grateful for your support!
