The CAL FIRE San Diego Benevolent Foundation is dedicated to supporting firefighters and their families in times of need. Through CAL FIRE Help a Hero, we provide financial assistance for medical bills, funeral costs, and emergency relief for firefighters facing hardship. Through, Honor the Fallen we can send our personnel to attend the California Firefighters Memorial Ceremony, paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Our foundation also funds firefighter wellness initiatives, family support programs, and emergency assistance efforts, ensuring our fire service community is never alone.
With the support of generous donors and partners, we stand by our firefighters every step of the way—because taking care of our own is a duty that never ends.
