Local 754’s own Tampa Fire Fighter Charity Fund spearheads the Camp Hopetáke (pronounced hope’ e’ tockee) Children’s Burn Camp.

Local 754, in connection with the Tampa General Burn Foundation, takes 40 children and 20 counselors to various theme parks, attractions, and beaches, providing supportive environments for these young survivors.
Mr. Tampa maintains solid roots in firefighting. His father was a firefighter, mother and step-father were paramedics, and his uncle by marriage was both a firefighter and paramedic. All served 30+ years of service. Jeremy’s other passion is children. In addition to facilitating Camp Hopetáke, he spends time with his own two children.
