Upcoming Events

The San Diego Fire-Rescue Foundation hosts events year-round to support the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.

Funds from events ensure top-notch training, equipment and resources for fire-rescue personnel. Join us at our next event to make a difference in San Diego's safety.

Current Initiatives

The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department allocates approximately 85% of its budget to salaries and benefits, resulting in funding shortfalls for equipment and training programs.

The San Diego Fire-Rescue Foundation raises funds to address these needs and support the safety of our personnel. Your contribution can help us bridge the funding gaps and strengthen public safety in San Diego.
