Fire Fighter Program
Supporting Israel's Fire and Rescue Efforts
The effectiveness of our civil defense efforts has been instrumental in safeguarding lives before, during and after the harrowing attacks of October 7.
Jewish National Fund–USA has strategically invested in civil defense for over a decade, emphasizing security, fire, and rescue. A swift and effective response executed by well-equipped and well-trained volunteers remains pivotal to our homeland’s security. Looking ahead, our commitment remains firm in fostering strong ties with essential local and national bodies such as the Israel Fire Authority and local municipalities & councils. Furthermore, we are expanding the Emergency Response Center (see next column) model to more regions, fostering collaborative partnerships between security, fire, and emergency services, following our successful implementations in the Central Arava, Ramat HaNegev, and Southern Eshkol Regional Councils. These models will be adapted to the specific needs of each authority, ensuring a comprehensive community response to a diverse range of situations.
In short – a one-stop shop for all volunteer emergency services in the community and surrounding communities.
