== Area Served ==
Coast Guard Base Kodiak is, by land area, the largest base that the Coast Guard currently operates at 23,000 acres. Kodiak falls under the Coast Guard's 17th district, which encompasses the State of Alaska and surrounding bodies of water. Kodiak is home to one of two air stations in this district, with the other being CGAS Sitka. The installion is home to many units, including the air station and it's two home ported cutters, the USCGC Alex Haley and USCGC Cypress. Work is currently being done to expand the base to accommodate three new fast-response cutters. Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak operates a fleet of C-130s, MH-65s, and MH-60s to cover a roughly 4 million square mile area, including the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands.
== Department Profile ==
The Coast Guard Base Kodiak Fire Department provides structural firefighting, aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF), EMS, wildland firefighting, rescue/hazmat operations, shipboard firefighting, and fire prevention/education/inspections to the base, its lodger units, the surrounding area, and adjacent Kodiak Benny Benson State Airport. It is the largest fire department in the Kodiak Island Borough, and is located on an isolated road system with three other fire departments. 
== Department History ==
US Coast Guard Base Kodiak was formerly referred to as Integrated Support Command Kodiak, and thus the fire department used to be named USCG Integrated Support Command Kodiak Fire Department. Until the late 20th century, the vast majority of Coast Guard fire departments, including Kodiak, were staffed by Coast Guard enlisted personnel and officers. Today, Base Kodiak's fire department is staffed completely by civilian government employees.
