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.
