We are 100% volunteer. No paid staff. No overhead bloat. Your donation goes directly to the mission.
When a fire ignites across Los Angeles, SCWR crews are already moving. We don’t wait for the call — we patrol, we train, and we respond. Every dollar donated directly funds the equipment, training, and operational capacity that puts trained volunteer firefighters and EMTs in the field when it matters most.
What your support makes possible:
$25 — Keeps firefighters supplied with hydration, medical, and field essentials during patrols
$50 — Supports emergency radio communications and dispatch infrastructure
$100 — Helps place trained personnel on active wildfire patrols in high-risk areas
$250 — Funds training, certifications, and readiness for volunteer firefighters and EMTs
$500+ — Directly supports wildfire response equipment, PPE, and operational deployments
Los Angeles has seen what happens when fire moves faster than the systems designed to stop it. SCWR was built to close that gap — and we’re only able to do it because people in this community choose to back us.
Southern California Wildfire Response is a registered public nonprofit. All donations are tax-deductible.
