Welcome
The Mission of the Santa
Barbara Firefighters Alliance is to support the firefighters
in Santa Barbara City and County with an alliance, to
maximize efficiency and safety, and to support the welfare
of the firefighters. The Alliance will enable firefighters
to provide a higher level of service to the community.

It is well-known that firefighters
do more than fight the residential, commercial, and dangerous
brush fires that plague our area. In addition, they provide
emergency medical services, hazardous waste abatement, and
are often crucial in special rescue situations. For these
services we are grateful.
What is not well-know is that in
many instances the budgets necessary to support the extended,
yet necessary, services have not kept pace. Often, needed
firefighting equipment has not been replaced or produced due
to budget constraints.
SBFA works closely with local fire
chiefs and fire houses to develop the wish list of items that
our firefighters need to increase their safety and welfare
while protecting our communities from fire, disaster, and
other hazards. At the same time, SBFA is hard at work developing
fundraising and educational events that raise the consciousness
of the community to the firefighter's needs and raise the
funds to purchase the wish list items.
Visit our weblinks to find out more
about our exciting annual fundraiser, The Fire Ball, and to
learn how you can give back to the men and woman who are our
first line of defense in times of crisis and emergency.
