About the Campaign
Placer West Fire Safe Council (PWFSC) and our local FireWise communities will be recognizing our First Responders & Fire Safety personnel at our annual Expo. For several years, we have brought together these men and women who sacrifice their lives daily, delivering their service while raising awareness and providing education on emergency preparedness, evacuation routes, home hardening, and safety demonstrations.
We recognize their valuable work in Placer County and the entire region. Standing alongside our First Responders and Fire Safety agencies, and after researching The Tunnel to Towers Foundation (T2T), we are elevating First Responders' community service and our appreciation by elevating awareness for a T2T fundraiser during our Expo, donating our proceeds to T2T to help continue their valuable work. We admire their work, as well as our veterans.
Tunnel to Towers is an organization that stands behind American heroes and their families. Please join us in showing your support. Stop by our first annual First Responders Fire Safety Expo on Saturday, October 3rd, from 10 am to 1:30 pm and meet our First Responders and Fire Safety agencies.
