1ST ANNUAL | SPONSORED BY STATER BROS. CHARITIES
Help Us Fill the Fire Truck

San Bernardino County Fire is proud to launch the 1st Annual Fill The Fire Truck Toy Drive. For decades, our firefighters have worked alongside community partners to bring the joy of the holiday season to children in need, and together those efforts have collected millions of toys. This year, we are carrying that tradition forward with a toy drive of our own.
