SBFA works very closely with the City and County Fire Chiefs and Fire Stations to develop the Wish List of items our firefighters need to increase their safety and welfare while protecting our communities from fires, disasters and other hazards. SBFA is hard at work developing fundraising and educational events that raise the consciousness of the community as to the firefighters' needs and raises the funds to purchase the Wish List items.
