The Sacramento Fire Department (SFD) provides fire protection and emergency medical services to the city of Sacramento, California.[3] The department was first organized on February 5, 1850, the oldest in the state. It was not until March 30, 1872, when it finally became the first paid fire department west of the Mississippi River. Additionally, the city also provides contracted services for the Pacific Fruitridge Fire Protection District and the Natomas Fire Protection District to provide emergency services. [4] These contracted area expands the departments response area to as they provide services to approximately 540,000 residents.[4]
The city itself has 20 fire stations spread across the city. It also operates out of 4 additional stations which are contracted out to the City of Sacramento. In Addition, there is also a Reserve Station.[1] Each station has a fire engine along with a number of support units. All specialty rigs, such as the wildland fire engines and the hazardous material truck are cross-staffed by engine and truck personnel.[2] There are also four boats spread across the stations for rescues in the two rivers that both run through, and border Sacramento, the American River and the Sacramento River, respectively.[5]
