Helping those who help others.

Over 10 million dollars in donations and pledged equipment have been raised since its inception in 1997. 100% of our donations go to funding rescue equipment and training vital to saving lives.
Donation update
Hawai'i Fire Department's Newest addition:
Ka 'Io
Named "Ka 'Io" after the Hawaiian hawk, this AirBus H125 is equipped to respond to EMS calls across the island, as well as perform firefighting and rescue operations. Through the generous donations from a group of amazing donors, we were able to procure this helicopter for the Hawai'i Fire Department to replace the faithful but aging Chopper 2. This is one of the many amazing donations that we were able to provide to the first responders on the island of Hawai'i.
Sayre Awards
Each year the Daniel R. Sayre Memorial Foundation honors members of the Hawai'i Fire Department who have displayed dedication to service above and beyond the call of duty.
