Trainings & Programs
Our team includes paid and volunteer personnel cross-trained in firefighting, vehicle extrication, rescue, and pre-hospital care.
The Santee Fire Department is funded through a public tax district, but many of our outreach programs, community events, and training initiatives are supported by the generosity of residents, businesses, and partners.
When you give, you help us:
- Host station tours and school visits
- Maintain and expand the Junior Firefighter Program
- Provide smoke detectors and fire safety materials to families in need
- Keep our equipment updated and ready for anything
- Support volunteer firefighter training and recruitment
