More About Us

How can you help?

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.

CFRST accepts one-time donations and corporate and group donations.

PPE

30% of Firefighters are volunteers in California. Without these volunteers there are many rural areas in the state that would have little to no fire and EMS services. Small departments throughout the state that have paid firefighters have little to no budget for critical training and equipment. There are federal, state, and private grants to help. These often fall short of meeting specific needs of Volunteer and small Fire departments. CFRST is here to fill in the gaps for departments that don’t qualify for grants and have safety equipment that needs replacement or training needs that go unmet.

Support First Responders...

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.
