Our firefighters work tirelessly to protect our communities and ensure the safety of Californians every single day. While most people run from danger, these brave men and women run toward it. As part of our gratitude for everything our local heroes do, Cal Water has established our Firefighter Grant Program to support and recognize local fire departments.
