On April 16, San Jose Firefighters Random Acts (SJFRA) brought a morning of fun and surprise to local students! After a routine fire drill, firefighters and SJFRA members welcomed students outside, where crews from Truck 2 and Engine 2 distributed 150 playground balls, 32 hula hoops, and 40 jump ropes—turning an ordinary morning into something unforgettable!

Teachers received books they had personally selected from their classroom wish lists, each one including a handwritten, motivational message from a San Jose firefighter—written specifically for the students who will be reading them. In addition, every teacher was given a $100 Amazon gift card to purchase materials to support their classrooms, and a ball cart was donated to support PE classes.

The impact of the event even made it onto the news!
