At age eight, Alisa Ann Ruch was fatally injured in a backyard barbecue accident in Southern California. Bravely using their tragedy as a catalyst for change, Alisa Ann’s parents, local firefighters and medical professionals joined together and created AARBF in 1971 with the goal of preventing burn injuries by teaching “Stop, Drop, and Roll.”
Since 1971, AARBF has been spreading the word across California about fire safety and burn prevention, all while helping burn survivors and their families find hope and support in the wake of challenging experiences. Our communities have been made safer because of decades of passionate work from volunteers and allies, and we look forward to continuing these efforts with your help.
