We LOVE Our Firefighters at Station #33

The Rancho Bernardo Community Council (RBCC) has raised funds to purchase items for our firefighters over the past several years. Most recently RBCC President, Robin Kaufman commented "I've been staying in touch with those at fire station 33 as some of them at various times have been assigned to help fight various fires throughout the state these past couple of months. I received a text last night from one of the firefighters: 'We just left the sheep fire and now at the north complex. The tent cots you got us saved our lives'." (The sheep fire is up in Plumas County, north of Sacramento. )

If you would like to help support station #33, you can make a check payable to the RB Community Council - for station 33 and mail it to the RB Community Council at: 12463 Rancho Bernardo Rd #523; San Diego, CA 92128
