Horizon West Community Safety: Fire Rescue Education

Community safety is a shared responsibility—one that benefits from partnership, engagement, and ongoing education. Orange County Fire Rescue recognizes that effective safety initiatives do better through collaboration with local businesses, homeowners’ associations (HOAs), clubs, and community organizations. These partnerships not only foster a safer environment but also strengthen community bonds.

If you’re involved with a group or organization looking to make a difference, here are ways Orange County Fire Rescue can collaborate to educate and empower your members while showcasing your commitment to community well-being.
