Our Impact


One805 has two unique advantages over any other non-profit in this sector, and both are interlinked:

1.
We are the only organization to support all three primary First Responder agencies in Santa Barbara County. One donation helps all three.
2.
All the Chiefs of the Santa Barbara County First Responder departments sit on the One805 Advisory Council, and are directly involved with the decisions of where funding is directed. This ensures that funds are quickly go where they are most needed at any given time, regardless of the department.

There are so many things Santa Barbara County’s first responding agencies need that cannot be provided from their budgets, so community support has become the only way to fill the need. Whether it be un-budgeted safety items or equipment for which immediate funding is required, assistance to support their mental health, or help in strengthening emergency and disaster preparedness in our communities.

Case Studies


First Responders care for our families, now let's care for theirs.

As the Thomas Fire marched inexorably along the 101 in 2017, Firefighters saved the small community of Rincon Beach; not a single home was damaged. Still deeply grateful, long-time resident Alexa Fullerton, in partnership with One805, generously offered her stunning house on Rincon Beach to allow firefighters to recuperate, recharge and spend quality time with their families. “This fire season, firefighters have been on the line for 30 days at a time” said Santa Barbara County Fire Chief Mark Hartwig. “They get two or three days off and then they are either back at the fire station, or they are deployed to another fire.

Carpinteria-Summerland, Montecito, Santa Barbara City, Lompoc, Guadalupe, Santa Maria and Santa Barbara County fire departments each selected one firefighter. The firefighter and their family are then gifted seven nights on Rincon Beach, where they can spend quality time with their immediate family, watch the kids play safely on the beach and fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

Delivering on the need for Water and Back Country Rescue in Inclement Weather.

One805 and an extremely generous donation from the Jean Perkins foundations have purchased Two Jet Skis for open water rescue and Six Drones designed to be flown in the rain: Three "Splash" Waterproof Search and Rescue drones. They have the unique capability to land on water, look for victims underneath the surface, and to fly a self-inflating flotation to the victim. Three DJI Mavic 3T Thermal UAVs They utilize a high­ powered spotlight, infrared camera and zoom to spot fires, mudslides, and victims.

“The Fire Chiefs throughout the County are grateful for the generosity of One805/Jean Perkins Foundation said SB County Fire Chief Mark Hartwig. “Countless times, we have been unable to fly drones or helicopters due to weather visibility. As we have shared previously, starting next July, all Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Services will be dispatched from one Regional Communication Center”

With this transition to a borderless response, these units will be available to ALL fire departments from Carpinteria to Santa Maria.
