On On June 2, 2009, San Bernardino County Fire personnel were part of a caravan of engines participating in the annual Quest Rally fundraiser for The Firefighters Quest for Burn Survivors. The caravan made stops at Victorville Fire Station 311 and Station 2 in Devore, where the San Bernardino County Firefighters Association donated over $5,000 to this great cause. Throughout the year, the Firefighters Association held fundraisers donating all proceeds to the organization.

Traveling caravan style with lights and sirens, Rally participants are escorted by the California Highway Patrol to various locations throughout the state. Local television personalities join the group throughout the week, working to raise funds for burn survivors as well as for burn centers, burn foundations and burn associations. Last year's rally raised a record $249,000.

Firefighters Quest for Burn Survivors is a non-profit organization managed by firefighters and civilians who volunteer their services and are dedicated to assist those that have been affected by burn injuries. The organization hosts several fundraisers throughout each year in which donations are received and distributed on behalf of each donor to local burn centers and foundations as well as burn survivors and their families.
