Department of Forestry & Fire Protection (CAL FIRE

CAL FIRE is the state fire department for California. CAL FIRE is an all-risk fire department with primary responsibility for structure and wildland protection in California's State Responsibility Area (SRA) (those areas outside cities, county districts, and federal jurisdictions, defined by the California Board of State Forestry ). Each Unit in the department is relatively stand-alone, with its own dispatch center and local area frequencies; however, in large incidents the state mutual aid plan engages to allow all units to seamlessly move resources throughout the state and to other states.

In addition to its state responsiblities, CAL FIRE also serves as the primary fire/EMS provider for cities, counties, and districts throughout the state through service contracts. In this capacity, CAL FIRE is a true all-risk provider, utilizing all types of resources, including paramedic engines and ambulances, trucks, haz-mat units, and heavy rescue teams, just to name a few.

Some ECC's have an separate table below the statewide lists, with additional frequency information for those areas.

See individual county pages for additional information in those areas where CAL FIRE maintains contract fire protection.
