California First Responder Support Team

California First Responder Support Team (CFRST) is a 501c3 nonprofit association. CFRST membership is open to anyone who desires to support first responders in California. 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.
