Since 2005, the San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation has been dedicated to helping provide unmet needs of the San Diego Fire‐Rescue Department. We do this by providing philanthropic support to secure enhanced equipment, training, technology, community education and youth development resources that will allow our San Diego first responders to better protect the citizens, property and environment of San Diego and the surrounding region.

On Saturday, October 6, 2018, the Foundation will host the San Diego Fire Rescue 5K & Kids Run (+Fire Safety Expo). This event will take place at the beautiful Spanish Landing Park West with the 5K passing through the SDFD Training Center. The event will raise funds to support the men and women of the San Diego Fire‐Rescue Department, as well as help educate the community about fire safety, CPR/AED training, making safe and healthy choices and more.
