About this facility

Mission
San Diego Volunteers primary mission is to assist as Volunteer
Emergency Personnel during times of crisis. To achieve our goal
We depend upon a community network comprised of members from all
walks of life who are committed to the cause of helping others
when help is needed, at any place, any where, and any time. Each member of San Diego Volunteers is dedicated to the mission
of prevention and assisting in stopping the severity of any new
disaster, such as the disaster experienced during Firestorm 2003. San Diego Volunteers is dedicated to preserving the safety of those
living in or visiting our community, as well as the protection of
the environment which includes natural and man-made resources. To
accomplish this goal San Diego Volunteers utilizes and trains its
personnel in areas of Prevention, Fire Suppression, Search, Rescue,
and Medical Emergency Services. The mission of volunteer service has been part of America since
the American Revolution. What makes our nation great is the strength
of the individual to have selfless sacrifice in pursuit of serving
others. San Diego Volunteers is a non profit organization comprised
of local citizens with one goal in mind. That goal is to help when
help is needed, and to assist any person regardless of cast, creed,
gender, color, or religion. This organization is dedicated to those heroes who cared so
passionately regarding the protection of their fellow neighbors,
that they lost their lives here in San Diego during Firestorm 2003,
and in New York City, the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania on 9/11. It is
this type of passion in the service of others that continues to cause
the ranks of these heroes today.

Notes

Greetings from the chief, Don Mason, and welcome to San Diego
Volunteers.

As our organization grows either by your charitable contributions
or time volunteered in order to make your community a safer place,
we will continue to strive to refine our skills as an organizations
and strengthen our infrastructure as we serve our local communities
in and around San Diego County.

As a volunteer you will find yourself in not only a challenging
position but also a position of self fulfillment knowing that you
serve the greater good of your community. As chief of SDV there are
two quotes that I like to think of. The first is “Volunteer Today,
Prepare for tomorrow”, which is the very base of what we like to
consider ourselves as a community. The second quote I like to recite
is “Those who can serve should serve”. If each of us as individuals
acted in a capacity of self serving then what would happen when a
catastrophic event were to occur and we knew not how to react as a
“Team”? Teamwork and preparation are the keys to successfully
completing any task.

As a team we will learn together the art of community involvement,
leadership, and task completion. As we grow as a team we will
continue to train and learn the skills of light extrication, fire
safety, water safety, search and rescue, electrical safety, CPR
and Basic First Aide, as well as, any and all other techniques
needed to assist paid professionals of county Emergency Services
organizations.

As a former volunteer of the Yardley Makefield Emergency Unit
located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, I can attest to the
personal gratification in saving a person’s life through C.P.R.
and river rescue. As a former Police Officer while enlisted in
the military I can also attest to the rewarding feeling in
protection of people and property. I encourage anyone who visits
the SDV web site to inquire upon what you can do for your
community, and how your future training and partnership with SDV
may one day save some one’s life whether assisting SDV, or in the
public domain during a non emergency situation.

If you are ready to volunteer and challenge yourself mentally as well
as physically then please select the JOIN NOW: APPLICANT AREA link to
be redirected to the volunteer applicant area.

Whether or not you decide to become involved with SDV I would like
to personally thank you for your interest. If you do decide that you
want to become a member of SDV, I as well as, all of those involved
with SDV, look forward to working with you in the future as we serve
San Diego County and its’ neighboring communities.
