Created October 17th, 2025

Please help brother Mercado and his family on this journey. Felix is a Firefighter in CAL FIRE Santa Clara Unit at Sunshine Station.

It is with heavy hearts that we share that one of our firefighters assigned to Sunshine Station has recently been diagnosed with cancer. This news has deeply impacted our department family, and we stand united in support of our colleague as they begin their fight.


We ask our community to keep this firefighter and their family in your thoughts and prayers during this challenging time.


For those wishing to provide additional support, a member of our crew has been collecting monetary donations to deliver to the family later this week. If you would like to contribute, please contact us directly to be put in touch with the support coordinator.


Your continued support and compassion mean the world to our fire family.
