Who we are.

Our Story.

The Riverside City Firefighters Foundation was founded by the late Riverside City Firefighters Association (RCFA) 1067 President Tim Strack in 2014 to provide needed support and dedicated resources for our fallen heroes and their families. This mission expanded over time in include support for active, retired, and disabled Riverside City Firefighters and their families - from ensuring mental wellbeing and regular physical check ups not covered by the City to covering travel costs for families for Firefighter Memorials across the State and Country.
