BART's mission is to empower firefighters and other emergency personnel with the training, knowledge and equipment necessary to safely and effectively address the needs of animals encountered in emergency situations, in order to help preserve human health, safety and well being.
You have the training, the experience, the desire... why not join our team of volunteers and help others get started with the BART program. Training sessions generally last two hours and are always fun and rewarding. Share your passion with others who care just as much about this important training.

THANK YOU BART VOLUNTEERS AND SUPPORTERS
We come to the end of another amazing year for BART. Thanks to our volunteers, board of directors and supporters, BART has continued to make an impact on the lives of people in our community and their pets. Your continued support has helped BART train 10 fire departments this past year equating to over 300 more firefighers. To date, over 3,000 first responders have been trained. Well done.
We are also proud to be collaborating with Invisible Fence, Inc in our mutual efforts to provide animal emergency equipment to first responders. Namely, Invisible Fence has offered to supply the oxygen face masks included in the BART small animal kits; an initiative they have supported for many years.
I would like to thank all the BART volunteers and board members as well as our supporters for their service and committment. BART could not have impacted the lives of so many without your help and dedication. You should be proud as you have all made a difference in our communities and have sparked the interest of those across the country. I personally could not be more proud or honored to be working beside such an amazing group of individuals. As we continue to prepare the first responders here at home, it is now time to show the world what BART is all about. Here’s to saving lives!
