The Daniel R. Sayre Memorial Foundation is proud to support the Hawaii Fire Department and Rescue. We work closely with Fire Chief Oliveira who provides us with the Department’s list of equipment and training needs.
Each year the Daniel R. Sayre Memorial Foundation has a fundraising dinner and silent auction where we give awards to members of the Fire Department for meritorious service above and beyond the call of duty. You can read the rescue stories and view photos of this year’s awardees.
We on the Big Island are fortunate to have one of the most talented and committed Fire Departments in the world. They face great diversity in terrain and types of rescues. The broad diversity of their needs stretches an already tight budget even further.
On any given day they might do a rescue at the top of Mauna Loa, an underwater rescue, or saving an injured hiker at the bottom of a deep valley. This requires more equipment and training than most other Fire Departments in the United States.
We are proud to support the Hawaii Fire Department with equipment purchases in addition to Foundation Gifts we have received on their behalf.
