The San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation will receive a generous gift of $65,000 from a local individual tomorrow.  The majority of the donation, $55,000, will be used to purchase Thermal Imaging Cameras for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.  Without this donation, the Department would not have the funds for this needed equipment.  Life-saving defibrillators for schools will be purchased with the remaining $10,000.

The donor will be present for the announcement, along with local firefighters and representatives from the Foundation and the Department.

The media is encouraged to cover this important public safety announcement.
