Support First Responders in California! Become a Member…
The mission of CFRST is to provide training, equipment and other needed services to volunteer, combination and small paid fire departments who cannot otherwise afford these services. In addition, CFRST will provide training for First responders experiencing PTSD.
These departments frequently barely have enough revenue to keep the lights on. Things like training and new equipment to keep them safe are not even an option for these departments. Much of their equipment does not even meet the current standards.
Approximately 70% of the nation’s firefighters are volunteers.
As a society we believe it is our duty to support those who risk their lives to serve their communities with little or no compensation.
CFRST accepts one-time donations, corporate and group donations, and offers association membership at 4 levels.

What California’s Atmospheric Rivers Mean for Drought, Floods, Fires
California has experienced an exceptionally wet winter with 11 atmospheric rivers battering the state since late December. A twelfth such storm is arrived on Tuesday, threatening to cause even more flooding, landslides and road closures.
Atmospheric rivers are vast airborne currents of dense moisture carried aloft for hundreds of miles from the Pacific and funneled over land to fall as bouts of heavy rain and snow. Here’s what such storms mean for the near and long term.

Farmers in California are facing huge flooding dangers, as are their farm animals.
The San Bernadino County Fire Department tweeted this video of their team rescuing seventeen large farm animals. The horses, cows, and goats were stuck in a huge mud put after record flooding ripped through the farm.
Crews have now cleared a path to the remaining animals with a skid steer and the animals were taken to a shelter for evaluation.
