FEMA Disaster Grant
The Ben Lomond Fire Protection District (BLFPD) has been awarded a Fire Prevention and Safety (FPS) FEMA disaster grant for $269.806.69 by the US Department of Homeland Security. The BLFPD, together with the other three San Lorenzo Valley fire districts (Boulder Creek, Felton, and Zayante) sought these funds to purchase a new, contemporary Fire Safety Education Trailer and specialized training fire extinguishers to be used at the elementary schools in San Lorenzo Valley, as well as other community events.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!
This year’s event was a huge success.
Once again, our local businesses and sponsors throughout Santa Cruz County came through with donations and services to support our efforts.
All proceeds from the Pancake Breakfast assist the Ben Lomond Fire Department Auxiliary with purchasing fire suppression and rescue equipment.
We look forward to seeing you next year, Sunday, July 7th.
