San Bernardino County Fire Benevolent Foundation provides support
to our Firefighters and their families during times of need. Our
Foundation provides vital financial support and serves as a link to
many alternatives to take care of our Fire Family.
We, at San Bernardino County Fire step into work each day ready to serve the public. It
is no secret that in doing so we face bodily extremes and injury, exposure to
carcinogens, psychological and emotionally destabilizing events, and other life-
threatening conditions. We accept this as a possible consequence of action in working
as a frontline of defense for each of our communities we serve.

We stand proud in our commitment and will always be ready to step into action during the public’s most vulnerable and chaotic moments.
We, as the Foundation, offer to those that stand in defense of San Bernardino County a
helping hand and know that no firefighter is ever alone. Help will be there and ready
when it is needed. Our Foundation’s commitment does not end once the tones and
sirens are quiet. We understand that the ramifications of incident exposure expand to
down time, off-duty time, and to the family at home. We will bring assistance to all who
wear the San Bernardino County Fire patch and the badge, and to their affected family.

As the size of San Bernardino County Fire District expanded, so did the needs of the
personnel. We found an increasing number of life-altering incidents that changed the
dynamic of a person’s ability to even continue their employment. We would see an
employee’s family member affected with a catastrophic event that would ultimately
fiscally and psychologically effect the employee’s livelihood leaving them to have to
attempt to neglect their family to continue to work. We, at San Bernardino County Fire
District are a family. We depend on the support of our loved ones at home to keep us
stable at work for extended periods of time. We found ourselves confronted with family
members in crisis and would extend our helping hand to them, thereby continuing to
take care of our own.
After continually organize fundraising efforts for each individual incident with amazing
support form the fire family and community we serve, it soon became necessary to
streamline this into our own Charitable Foundation to complete the work in an organized
process. This vision led to establishing a nonprofit Foundation committed to service to
our own. San Bernardino County Fire Benevolent Foundation uses 100% of your
donation directly to support our mission.
