OUR TEAM
Foundation Board Members
STEPHEN HESTER
Board Chairman
During my time as GFFR Fire Chief, people wanted to donate to the Fire Department. However, there was no legitimate means of accepting those charitable gifts. I wanted to be part of something that provides that opportunity to accept funds to support project and equipment that directly benefit our Fire Department and enhances our community.
BILL BRONSON
Foundation Secretary
I chose to be part of the GFFR Foundation Board because the Foundation provides funding for equipment and projects that the City could not otherwise afford.  Our community will be safer as a result.
GARY ZADICK
Foundation Board Member
We live in a community and part of our responsibility is to take care of those around you. Great Falls Fire Rescue does that daily, 24/7 and there is always a need to fill. Education for our children, equipment, training and more. I chose to be part of the Foundation to assist with filling these needs.
BRAD LIVINGSTON
Foundation Board Member
I chose to be part of the GFFR Foundation Board to support Great Falls Fire Rescue, our community's unsung heroes.
JOHN BALL
Foundation Board Member
I am proud to serve on the GFFR Foundation to enhance the fire service in our community and help to supplement funding for needs not covered in the budget.
KATIE BREWER
Foundation Board Member
I wanted to be part of the solution that allows Great Falls Fire Rescue to receive donations that help enhance their services for our community. Not all needs can be fulfilled by the City budget and the Foundation is a resource to supplement those funding needs.
BRIANNE LAURIN
Foundation Board Member
When my uncle Gary Ehnes was young, he was in a missile silo accident and caught on fire. He suffered burns on nearly his entire body and is alive today thanks to the firemen who responded and saved his life. So growing up, I saw how much he supported the fire department from the way he "decorated" the Hi Ho, to starting the Hi Ho Golf Scramble over 35 years ago, which he began to support the fire fighters charitable fund. Joining the new GF Fire Rescue Foundation board of directors is a way to honor my uncle who happens to be one of my favorite humans. It's a privilege to be a part of something that can and will have a lasting impact on the safety and vitality of our community.
MIKE MCINTOSH
Foundation Board Member
I was very excited to be a member of the GFFR Foundation as this foundation will be not only be working to find ways to support GFFR, but to also support the Community of Great Falls. This ties directly into the 3 pillars of GFFR’s strategic plan, Education, Prevention and Response.
