I am honored to be the Fire Chief of the City of Fresno Fire Department (FFD). The Fresno Fire Department is a progressive organization that is rich in tradition. Our members strive to be a standard of excellence in the fire service and demonstrate that day in and day out through their persistence and resilience, and the Fresno Fire Chief’s Foundation (FFCF) supports that mission.

The FFCF was created in 2004 by a group of caring community leaders and members of the FFD to address the unmet needs of fire prevention and safety education through community outreach.

The FFD budget provides the resources to meet most of the Department’s operational needs; however, it falls short when it comes to charitable assistance for public education, prevention and promotion of community involvement with the FFD. With community partnerships, the FFCF can pick up where City resources leave off by providing much needed support to community programs such as Helmets are Cool, Champ Camp, Central California Burn Aware Education, Fire Explorers, and Fitness for Firefighters.

Whether you can give a little or a lot, every donation helps to make our community safer and a better place to be. Everyone can be a hero and make a difference with a donation to the FFCF! Thank you for your support!
