We educate, support, and help to prevent fires and burns

We educate and serve our entire community. We are proud to provide everyone (youth through seniors) with critical tools and knowledge. Our programs and services are invaluable to our community.

Discover our many educational efforts, our safety and prevention services, hear burn survivors’ inspiring stories, and learn how the Burn Institute works to improve our quality of life.

Help us protect our community.

Across San Diego and Imperial Counties, we deliver programs that prevent fires. Our unique programs (Fire Safe Kids, Fire Safe Seniors, Camp Beyond the Scars, and more) are life-saving. We provide fire and burn prevention education to tens of thousands of children and adults annually.
