Affiliated with the International Fire Buffs Associates, Inc., the Fire Associates maintain Several Fire Support Unit canteen vehicles which respond to alarms, supplying rehab support, coffee, cold drinks, etc. to firefighters.

Fire Associates operates under the authorization of the Santa Clara County Fire Chiefs Association. Recognized as a volunteer fire department, Fire Associates vehicles are registered with official exempt license plates. Despite this, they have amber lightbars, not red, and do not respond code 3, with lights and siren. They are equipped with fire-band radios so that they can communicate with the dispatchers for the various communities to which they respond.

Our organization is funded solely by its members and by donations from community supporters. If you would like to donate to FASCV, there are several easy ways available on our new “Donate” page or click this link to use PayPal
