Dear community,

It is my pleasure to inform you that Mid Coast Fire Brigade is creating an Ocean Rescue Division!

As you may or may not know, our coastline in Monterey County is both dynamic and deadly. We respond to multiple coastal incidents every year. Up until this point, Mid Coast Fire Brigade has been unable to enter the water to access victims due to a lack of equipment and trained responders. The results for these victims are often deadly.

It is our goal to certify qualified members of our Brigade so we will be able to enter the water and may be able to prevent loss of life and respond to aquatic emergencies, in and around our area.

We are currently fundraising so that we can purchase necessary equipment. As we are a volunteer department, we must reach out to our community from time to ask for support.

Our first fundraising event is:

Event: ROCK FOR OCEAN RESCUE

Location: American Legion Post Dolores street Carmel, Ca

Date: December 20, 2014

Time: 4:00pm-1:00am
