The San Diego coast is a popular destination for visitors and residents alike, keeping the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department's Lifeguard Division busy with more than 9,000 water rescues performed on average each year. San Diego Fire-Rescue Department (SDFD) lifeguards, in collaboration with Toyota, the Official Vehicle of the lifeguards, will promote water safety this summer. Look for SDFD lifeguards and Toyota at your local beaches, including Ocean Beach and La Jolla. San Diego public safety personnel will be on hand to discuss water safety tips at these events, as well as highlight job opportunities as an SDFD lifeguard. Toyota will be on-site to showcase their fleet, including a lifeguard vehicle, which is a key tool in public safety efforts along the City’s beaches and cliffs.
