Division of Training at approximately 5pm.
“The Greater South Bay, Peninsula and SF Bay Area have long been supporters of the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation and this is a great way for us to thank everyone for their efforts, while at the same time raising awareness for burn prevention and burn-injured individuals,” says Development Manager, Stephanie Boydell.
The Relay is a great way to remind everyone of the importance of being burn safe. Burn Prevention is an active part of AARBF’s mission, and their program, Firefighters in Safety Education (FISE), works directly with fire departments and school districts to make sure that children and their families are aware of how to be burn safe.
