The East Fork Ember Foundation exists to empower and enhance the capabilities of the East Fork Fire Protection District by bridging funding gaps through private, public, and corporate support. Our mission is to provide vital resources—such as life-saving equipment, advanced training, community education, innovative technology, and immediate assistance to fire-affected residents—ensuring firefighters, emergency personnel, and the community are fully supported before, during, and after emergencies.

We are committed to:

Supporting the health, safety, and readiness of firefighters and first responders.

Providing initial emergency relief to fire victims, including short-term assistance for basic needs during the immediate aftermath of a fire.

Promoting a culture of preparedness, resilience, and prevention throughout Carson Valley.

Engaging with the community to foster strong partnerships that enhance local emergency response and recovery efforts.

Ensuring that every donation is translated into tangible tools and direct support that protect lives, homes, and critical infrastructure.

The East Fork Ember Foundation operates as the official nonprofit arm of the East Fork Fire Protection District. We believe that by investing in the people who stand on the front lines of danger, we are investing in the safety and strength of our entire community.
