The Big Sur Volunteer Fire Brigade is a group of community members providing dependable fire and emergency services to all of Big Sur with a spirit of teamwork, respect and integrity.
As we continue to see costs increase in almost every aspect of our operations, the need for general operating funds never ends. Now in its 50th year, Big Sur Fire continues to provide reliable emergency services throughout our vast response area which includes scenic Highway 1 from Bixby Bridge to the Monterey/San Luis Obispo county line. As a non-profit volunteer organization we rely on the generosity and support from individuals like YOU; federal, state and local grants; and other fundraising campaigns like MCGives to keep our operations going.
Big Sur Fire is a lifeline to the beloved community of Big Sur. It is made up of men and women who cherish this place we call home from. At any given moment when sirens are heard through the valley, every resident of Big Sur knows without a doubt a member of Big Sur Fire will be on the scene. Big Sur Fire does more than being first on scene for emergencies. They take time out of their busy schedules to be part of educating the children of our community, visiting Captain Cooper School each year to teach children about fire and earthquake safety. As a child I remember Big Sur Fire coming to staff holiday parties and helping Santa deliver presents to the children. Big Sur Fire continues to greet us during the holiday season with their fire engine and Santa making unforgettable memories for the next generation!
