Built From Within. Run From Within.
We handle our own.
1955
The Mission Never Changed
In 1955, a group of Fontana firefighters decided that looking out for each other was worth organizing around. They called it the Fontana Firefighters Association.
Over the decades, as the department grew and merged – first into Central Valley Fire District, then into San Bernardino County Fire District– the association grew with it. New stations. New faces. Same idea.
SBCoFFA is what that original group handed down to us.
This is how We will SHow Up for you
Members maintain a savings account through the association. And when life gets harder than a savings account can handle, the association has ways to help. You call a rep and we'll get it handled. Through partnerships and relationships, the association is ready to help. Privacy is also a priority, keeping sensitive topics confidential.
We Aren't Finished Yet
SBCoFFA has supported the Fontana Fire Museum, the restoration of historic apparatus from Fontana, Crest Forest, and San Bernardino City, and the dignity of our fallen through the Last Alarm Funeral Bell and funeral hose bed liner.
Each year we honor our retirees, organizing an annual luncheon and supporting other activities to keep our family connected.
Coming 2027 SBCoFFA is establishing a dedicated Line of Duty Death and Severe Injury Fund, along with scholarships for members’ children.
This association has always been handed down from one generation to the next. We intend to keep it that way.
And we are not standing still
We do not take lightly where we came from.
