Clearwater, Florida – Fire Ops 101

May 10, 2025 | Days of Giving

Operation BBQ Relief was proud to support this year’s Fire Ops 101 event, continuing a meaningful tradition now in its third year.

In partnership with the International Association of Firefighters, the Pinellas County Fire Chiefs Association, and Clearwater Fire & Rescue, we had the honor of providing 150 meals to brave firefighters who serve their communities every day.

Fire Ops 101 brings together firefighters from across the Tampa Bay area, along with local and state officials and members of the media, to experience firsthand the challenges and dedication required in fire service.

In addition to feeding attendees at the event, we were also able to provide meals to local fire stations—sharing comfort and gratitude with those who serve our communities every day.

It was a powerful and rewarding day for all involved! Thanks to all of our volunteers who made this event possible.
