“We started working locally to help teenagers learn more about a career in the fire services. We didn’t even have a website. Nonprofit Fire got us online and on local TV and expanded our vision internationally. Our ‘story’ was simplified and advertised with Google Ad Grants, which I had never even heard of. Since then, every single day new people join the thousands in our online community. It never stops. And we’re just getting started!”
