In Memoriam

FSTI Board member Jerry Davies

It is with deep remorse that we announce the passing of FSTI Board member Jerry Davies in January from COVID.

Jerry was with FSTI from the start, strongly supporting the organization and our Project Trinity with over ten years of financial support from Farmers Insurance. Hundreds of volunteers throughout California benefited from Jerry’s contributions. Jerry also served as President of the California Firesafe Council incorporating FSTI into joint county fair programs throughout California. Moreover, Jerry served with me on the State Board of Fire Services for four terms ultimately becoming co-chair with the State Fire Marshal.
