We are the New England Chapter of FOOLS International. For those who might not know what the FOOLS stands for, it is the Fraternal Order Of Leatherheads Society. The FOOLS is an organization that was started in 1995 by a group of Central Florida Firemen. There are chapters all over the world. Our Chapter includes all of the New England states.The Leatherhead is a term used for a firefighter who uses the leather helmet for protection from the hazards we face every day on the streets. The helmet is a sign of who we are, not what we are. You do NOT have to have a leather helmet to be a member of the FOOLS. We are nondenominational, ecumenical, and non-judgmental. We’ll accept you if you wear leather, plastic, pleather or even a euro-helmet.The FOOLS are about the Brotherhood and Traditions that the fire service is based on. When we are in our gear and trying to make our way down the dark smoky hallway, we are all the same. All that matters is that you have my back, and I have yours. We do not care if you are a Chief or a recruit, male or female, the color of your skin, or if you’re big city career or small-town volunteer. All we ask is that you are true to your Brother and Sister firefighter, and to the fire service.The FOOLS are about preserving the Tradition and Heritage of the fire service and taking care of our Brothers and Sisters. We are involved with fundraisers and charity events. We strongly believe that this part of what being a member of the FOOLS is all about, it is our duty. We here in New England have made donations of tens of thousands of dollars throughout our history.We believe in Pride: In our departments, in our stations, in our apparatus, and in ourselves. We ask of each and every one of you to never, to ever forget those that have gone before us in the line of duty. Because those brave souls have given all, it is up to us to keep them alive in our hearts and our memories.God Bless America, and Long Live the FOOLS.WE WILL NEVER FORGET.FTM-PTB-EGH-RFB-KTF-DTRT
