URGENT: Cal Fire Warning About Frauds Trying To Solicit Donations For Fallen Firefighters

The following is an urgent news release from Cal Fire:

Firefighters from Southern California are currently gathering together to pay their respects to CAL FIRE Firefighter Christopher Douglas, who paid the ultimate sacrifice with his life while responding to an emergency incident last week. 

There are several organizations lined door to door at the memorial service soliciting donations for “fallen firefighters” that are misleading and not legitimate. 

CDF Firefighters Local 2881 has established a site dedicated to those who wish to make a donation to benefit the Douglas family. Please click here for more information.
