California Local Fire Districts

Local fire district data obtained from fire departments, cities, counties, and other state entities. The Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) makes no guarantees regarding the quality or completeness of the data. It has not been fully reviewed for accuracy and is intended to be used for informational purposes only.Minor changes have been done by Pre-Fire Engineers as well as the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) to better align edges and remove small overlaps. Boundaries are tied with the corresponding Fire Department Identification (FDID) records kept by OSFM as well as Cal OES MACS 3 Letter IDs used to identify agencies and operational areas dispatching resources. The data currently contains gaps due to a variety of reasons including uncollected information from Federal Lands, reservations, counties, and cities. These gaps however do not necessarily mean there is no coverage or fire protection available. CAL FIRE's goal is to make this data publicly available and easily accessible. To this end, CAL FIRE has reached out to numerous jurisdictions to collect the data currently displayed. It is CAL FIRE's hope that creating this centralized dataset will promote cooperation between neighboring jurisdictions when creating and updating their GIS boundaries, eventually filling in and removing these gaps in the data as well as to better align their borders.This data is updated annually as the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) submit updated records and boundaries throughout the year. Not all AHJs submit updates regularly and as such FDID and boundary information may become outdated over time. If you are a representative of one of these AHJs and see outdated information, please submit a Fire Department Information Change Notice. If you would like to submit updated GIS boundaries, please use this application: California Fire District Submission Web AppThis service represents the latest official release as of May 2024, it represents FireDistricts24_1.
