We focus on equipping our first responders with the resources needed for effective prevention and preparedness. Through the programs we support, we aim to strengthen the capabilities of residents and first responders, ensuring they are ready to protect themselves and others in times of emergency.
We provide advanced equipment, cutting-edge training, and the latest technology to ensure the men and women of the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department are fully prepared to safeguard the residents, property, and environment of San Diego and the surrounding region.
Over 1.4 million San Diegans and visitors depend on the expertly trained San Diego Fire-Rescue personnel, including our professional firefighters, lifeguards, and paramedics, who cover nearly 343 square miles in San Diego County. Regardless of the challenge, the men and women of SDFD are committed to delivering top-quality emergency response services.
San Diego Fire-Rescue personnel are vital to maintaining public safety. Despite facing budget cuts from the city, these dedicated teams continue to provide essential services. However, economic challenges often limit their access to specialized equipment and advanced training, which are crucial for enhancing their safety and effectiveness in emergency response.
The San Diego Fire-Rescue Foundation helps provide our first responders with the enhanced resources they need to better protect our community. Through grants, individual donations, and corporate partnerships, the Foundation provides fire-rescue personnel with advanced equipment, specialized training, and tailored program support—ensuring they can respond swiftly to emergencies and keep our region safe. Committed to collaboration, the Foundation works in partnership with the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department to help provide the essential resources needed to better prepare and protect our first responders as they serve our community.
Support the San Diego Fire-Rescue Foundation and make a difference in our community’s safety.
