Dedicated, since 1971, to delivering fire prevention education and services to burn survivors and their families in California.
Our passion for this mission is expressed in a wide range of programs aimed at reducing burn injuries through prevention, and enhancing the quality of life for those affected by burn injuries in California.
Why Donate?
For over 50 years we have delivered our highly regarded prevention and survivor services across California with a small staff and a large pool of volunteers, many who are burn survivors. This ensures we make the best use of your donations.

A Great Evening with Torrance Firefighters
On Saturday, March 8, 2025, Torrance Firefighters hosted their annual spaghetti dinner. It is so uplifting to see the Torrance community coming together to participate in this family-friendly event. We were delighted to have staff from the Torrance Memorial Burn Unit join us as we greeted and spoke with guests. We are thankful for the over 50 years of support we have received from the Torrance Firefighters and the Torrance Firefighters Women’s Association. The dinner as always was delicious and the bake sale items were scrumptious. If you get the chance, please give a huge thank you to the Torrance Firefighters for their continued support of our burn survivor programs and mission.
Record Breaking Donation at the 2025 Fire Symposium
On Wednesday, March 19th, the California Fire Chiefs Association hosted AARBF’s Katrina Arthur and volunteers Chop Suey and Hydra at their 28th Annual Training Symposium Dinner and Corn Hole Tournament. While at the event, our AARBF representatives shared the mission and work of the foundation as well as helped to raise a record breaking $7,000 for prevention education and sending youth burn survivors to Champ Camp. The Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation gives a warm thank you to the Cal Fire Chiefs Association and the Fresno Fire Department for inviting us to the 2025 Fire Symposium and for their continued support.Medical Centers
