The Beverly Hills Firefighters' Association (BHFA) represents the 86 full-time, professional firefighters and paramedics who protect the residents and visitors of our world-class community. Our members operate the city’s three fire stations 24 hours per day and respond to over 9,000 incidents a year. These incidents require firefighters to call on their expertise in firefighting, emergency medical services, hazardous material operations and technical rescue. Beverly Hills Firefighters provide the community with the highest level of service possible. Since firefighters spend roughly one-third of their lives on the job, your Beverly Hills Firefighters are engaged community members, contributors to local causes, participants in local events and stakeholders in the success of this world-class city. The Beverly Hills Firefighters' Association are committed to being a positive force in the community we proudly serve. They take pride in making a difference to the residents and visitors of Beverly Hills, both on and off duty.

This event benefits the BHFA Medical Retirement Fund ensuring the welfare of those who have dedicated their lives to serving and protecting the Beverly Hills Firefighters community. Learn more about this event here.
