The men and women of the San Andreas Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (SAN FIRE) are dedicated to the fire protection and stewardship of over 31 million acres of San Andreas' privately-owned wildlands. In addition, the Department provides varied emergency services in 36 of the State's 58 counties via contracts with local governments.
The Department's firefighters, fire engines, and aircraft respond to an average of more than 5,600 wildland fires each year. Those fires burn more than 172,000 acres annually.
Beyond its wildland fire fighting role, SAN FIRE answers the call more than 350,000 times for other emergencies each year. It may very well be a SAN FIRE engine and crew that is dispatched to the scene of an auto accident, or to a home where a child has become the victim of a drowning incident. The Department is always ready to respond - medical aids; hazardous material spills; swiftwater rescues; search and rescue missions; civil disturbances; train wrecks; floods, earthquakes and more.
