On February 4th, nine fire departments from across the Central Valley joined Katrina for the 11th Annual Central Valley Firefighters Burn Relay. This annual tradition starts at the MMU CALFIRE station in Madera, from where fire engines, trucks, brush rigs, and ambulances travel through Clovis, Sanger, and Kingsburg, ending at the Fresno Fire Department’s headquarters in downtown Fresno, escorted by the Fresno County CHP. Along the route, local fire unions generously donate to support Champ Camp. This year, we raised $17,950 from Fresno Fire Local 202, Fresno Fire Chiefs Foundation, Clovis, CALFIRE Fresno-Kings, CALFIRE MMU, Sanger, Kingsburg, Coalinga, and Hanford Firefighters Associations. AARBF thanks members of the CRMC Leon S Peters Burn Center for joining our departments at our luncheon sponsored by the Central Valley Firefighters Credit Union.
AARBF appreciates the opportunity to highlight the dedication of our Central Valley Fire departments to support the burn community and our mission.
