THE FOUNDATIONS GOAL IS FOR ALL RESIDENTS TO HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE WITHOUT REGARD TO WHERE THEY LIVE AND TO STRENGTHEN THE WEAKEST LINK IN OUR COUNTYS SYSTEM OF EMERGENCY AND MEDICAL SERVICES. DUE TO THE HIGH RISK OF WILDFIRES IN OUR COUNTY RESULTING FROM THE REGIONS ARID CONDITION, ROUGH TERRAIN, HEAVY FUELS AND STRONG WINDS, IT IS CRITICAL THAT ALL FIRE AGENCIES WORK EFFECTIVELY TOGETHER, WE CANNOT AFFORD A WEAK LINK. 273236 216560 TO ACHIEVE THE FOUNDATIONS ULTIMATE GOAL OF SAN DIEGO BEING THE SAFEST COUNTY IN THE COUNTRY, IT IS IMPERATIVE TO TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT FIRES, AS WELL AS HAVING TOP CALIBER FIRE DEPARTMENTS TO RESPOND WHEN THERE IS A FIRE. TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE, THE FOUNDATION PARTNERS WITH THE REGIONAL FIRE SAFE COUNCIL (FSC) AND OVER 40 LOCAL COMMUNITY BASED FSCS. WITH FOUNDATION GRANTS, THESE LOCAL FSCS IDENTIFY FIRE-RISK AREAS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, PERFORM BRUSH MANAGEMENT, PROVIDE CHIPPING SERVICES AND DUMPSTERS FOR RESIDENTS MAKING THEIR PROPERTIES FIRE SAFE. IN ADDITION, COMMUNITY EDUCATION SESSIONS ARE HELD INFORMING RESIDENTS OF ACTIONS NEEDED TO MAKE THEIR PROPERTY SAFER, AND WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO TAKE WITH THEM IF THEY MUST EVACUATE THEIR HOMES. 39836 27241 THREE INTERRELATED COMMUNITY ISSUES ARE 1) LACK OF YOUNG PEOPLE ENTERING THE FIRE SERVICES AS A CAREER, 2) FIRE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL LACK THE DIVERSITY OF THE COMMUNITY THEY SERVICE, AND 3) YOUNG ADULTS GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL IN DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES OFTEN LACK KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS ABOUT FIRE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. WORKING WITH HIGH SCHOOLS AND FIRE CHIEFS, THE FIRE FOUNDATION IS DEVELOPING A HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH BASIC FIREFIGHTING AND MEDICAL BACKGROUND, KNOWLEDGE, AND EXPERIENCE TO PREPARE THEM TO BECOME EMTS (EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS) AND QUALIFIED TO ENTER THE FIRE SERVICE AT AGE 18. ADDITIONALY SCHOLARSHIPS ARE PROVIDED TO ATTEND A FIRE ACADEMY OR PARAMEDIC SCHOOL TO LOW INCOME YOUNG ADULTS. 668937 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false CA X X FRANK AULT 6198141346 2508 HISTORIC DECATUR ROAD STE 160 SAN DIEGO CA 92106 X GWEN ROSENBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FRANK AULT CHAIRMAN 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SUSAN RAIMOND TREASURER 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BOB SPURGIN SECRETARY 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOAN JONES VICE CHAIR & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 25.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 1177500 455911 1633411 46835 46835 0 1680246 46835 0 0 542990 542990 143250 107438 21487 14325 2974 2974 14775 11081 2216 1478 1794 1346 269 179 6366 4775 955 636 593 593 1315 1315 TELEPHONE 1743 1307 262 174 BANK FEES 131 131 FILING FEES 100 100 POSTAGE AND SHIPPING 330 330 716361 668937 30632 16792 155067 26528 617763 1709657 772830 1736185 530 530 0 X 86368 124534 685932 1611651 772300 1736185 772830 1736185 963885 0 X false false false X 747959 352542 596271 780098 1633411 4110281 747959 352542 596271 780098 1633411 4110281 2000 8400 33500 47066 79188 170154 2000 8400 33500 47066 79188 170154 3940127 577 306 2005 9235 46835 58958 577 306 2005 9235 46835 58958 748536 352848 598276 789333 1680246 4169239 0.94500 0.96020 0.01000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true CREST FSC 113 NORTH PARK AVE EL CAJON CA 92021 800349872 8983 FIRE PREVENTION EUCALYPTUS HILLS FSC 11126 PINE HURST DR LAKESIDE CA 92040 900540513 6900 FIRE PREVENTION POTRERO TECATE FSC PO BOX 116 POTRERO CA 91963 273297847 29802 FIRE PREVENTION VIA CREST FSC 309 LUISENO AVE Oceanside CA 92057 472726433 12000 FIRE PREVENTION SOUTHWEST COMM COLLEGE 900 OTAY LAKES RD CHULA VISTA CA 91910 5200 FIREMEDIC SCHOLARSHIPS PALOMAR COMM COLLEGE 1140 W MISSION RD SAN MARCOS CA 92069 10000 FIREMEDIC SCHOLARSHIPS ALPINE FIRE DISTRICT 1364 TAVERN ROAD Alpine CA 91901 117758 FIRE EQUIPMENT CAMPO FIRE SAFE COUNCIL PO BOX 426 CAMPO CA 91906 472726433 20987 FIRE PREVENTION FALLBROOK FSC 518 HILBERT DR FALLBROOK CA 92028 470921300 14000 FIRE PREVENTION BONITASUNNYSIDE FIRE DISTRICT 4900 BONITA RD BONITA CA 91902 31144 FIRE EQUIPMENT CHULA VISTA FIRE DEPT 276 FOURTH AVE Chula Vista CA 91910 109663 FIRE EQUIPMENT LOS TULES FSC PO BOX72 WARNER SPRINGS CA 92086 472726433 11500 FIRE PREVENTION MT LAGUNA FSC PO BOX 292 MOUNT LAGUNA CA 91948 203891980 7365 FIRE PREVENTION OLIVENHAIN FSC 240 ENCINITAS BLVD SE D 165 ENCINITAS CA 92024 472726433 7500 FIRE PREVENTION PALOMAR MOUNTAIN FSC PO BOX 274 PALOMAR MOUNTAIN CA 92060 201465663 12000 FIRE PREVENTION LA JOLLA INDIAN RESERVATION FIRE DE 22000 HIGHWAY 76 Pauma Valley CA 92061 20550 FIRE EQUIPMENT POWAY NEIGHBORHOOD EMERGENCY CORPS 13124 RIDGEDALE DR POWAY CA 92064 824976124 7000 FIRE PREVENTION ALPINEVIEJAS FSC 1364 TAVERN RD ALPINE CA 91901 932576985 7500 FIRE PREVENTION ALVARADO ESTATES FSC 7007 MISSION GORGE RD 201 SAN DIEGO CA 92120 956056751 11500 FIRE PREVENTION JULIAN FIRE SAFE COUNCIL PO BOX 1705 JULIAN CA 92036 872679329 12007 FIRE PREVENTION LAKESIDE FSC 11769 WATERHILL RD LAKESIDE CA 92040 330768824 5035 FIRE PREVENTION SOUTHWEST ESCONDIDO FSC 1343 BLACKHAWK GLEN ESCONDIDO CA 92029 883921162 11821 FIRE PREVENTION WYNOLA WATER DISTRICT PO BOX 193 SANTA YSABEL CA 92070 15000 FIRE PREVENTION NORTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT 330 SOUTH MAIN AVE Fallbrook CA 92028 11913 FIRE EQUIPMENT ORANGE COUNTY EMT 26489 RANCHO PARKWAY SOUTH Lake Forest CA 92630 5000 FIREMEDIC SCHOLARSHIPS 25 Monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) ANNUALLY THE FIRE FOUNDATION CONDUCTS 2 GRANT PROGRAMS WHERE ALL ELIGIBLE FIRE AGENCIES AND FIRE SAFE COUNCILS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY CAN SUBMIT REQUESTS FOR EQUIPMENT FUNDING,TRAINING OR PREVENTION ACTIVITIES.THE FOUNDATION THEN SEEKS DONORS TO CONTRIBUTE AND FUND THESE APPLICATIONS.IF A DONOR SPECIFIES THEIR DONATION IS TO GO TO SPECIFIC GRANT REQUEST, THAT REQUEST IS HONORED.FOR ALL OTHER FUNDS WHERE THE DONOR HAS NOT MADE A SPECIFIC REQUEST TO FUND, THE FIRE FOUNDAITON BOARD PRIORITIZES REMAINING GRANT APPLICAITONS TO FUND AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.THE FIRE FOUNDATION REQUIRES ALL AGENCIES RECEIVING A GRANT TO SUPPLY RECEIPTS OR OTHER SUPPORTING EVIDENCE THAT THE GRANT FUNDS WERE EXPENDED AS SET FORTH IN THE GRANT.THE AGENCY WILL BE INELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE GRANTS IF IT FAILS TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTS.
