When firefighters train on grueling skills like roof ventilation and vehicle extrication, they push their bodies to the limit. Highlands CERT needs your help to keep them safe, hydrated, and ready to train.
Join us at the CalFire Truck Academy to staff the "Rehab Station"—providing vital snacks, drinks, and hospitality to our local firefighters during their intensive drills.
Dates: April 28–30, May 1, and May 4, 2026
Time: 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM (Pick any shift!)
Location: CalFire Station 17
Who: Open to everyone (No CERT training required!)
Volunteer: Sign up for one or more days on the Highlands CERT Calendar.
Lend Gear: We need folding camping chairs! We’ll tag them and return them after the event.

From wildfires and severe windstorms to major utility outages, we know that disasters don't give much warning. When the grid goes down or access is cut off, the most important resource we have is each other.
That’s why we are launching the Highlands Neighborhood Network (HNN).
Our goal is simple: Create a communication tree across all 800 homes in the Highlands so we can rapidly identify who is safe and who needs immediate help. We need 2–3 volunteers on every street to be the "eyes and ears" for their immediate neighbors.
