Brightwater Donation and Particulate Hoods
After a 2020 fire in the Huntington Beach wetlands threatened the Brightwater community, which backs up to the wetlands off of Warner Avenue, the residents there collected $4,000 to say 'thank you' to the HB fire fighters who saved their community. They donated that money to the HBFOF who then worked with HB Fire to purchase new particulate hoods for the HB fire fighters.
The photo shows a firefighter wearing a particulate hood. The video shows representatives from the Brightwater Community presenting the symbolic check to the HBFOF at the site of the command post used for the fire. The HBFD command staff, firefighters, and Mayor Lynn Semeta also attended the ceremony to express their appreciation as well.
