Our Events
Service Awards Honoree Program
Hosted by the Fire-Rescue Foundation, this event honors the men and women of the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department who put their lives on the line every day to help protect our community. We will also be recognizing ordinary citizens who have done extraordinary things to help others in their time of need.

Girls Empowerment Camp
The program is free and is open to teens of all genders ages 14-18. Participants get hands-on orientation and training with actual firefighting tools and equipment as well as classroom instruction. This program is designed to inspire those interested in a career in the public safety by focusing their efforts on future success and engaging them in the SDFD recruitment and mentoring process. For additional information, please contact sdfdgec@sandiego.gov.

Above & Beyond
It is our pleasure to invite you to join us for a heartwarming event honoring first responders and extraordinary citizens who have gone above and beyond for our community. The highlight of this event is honoring simple acts of kindness that are so often overlooked. We look forward to welcoming you to Above & Beyond and sharing an evening celebrating the humanity of our heroes.
