California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection

==Area Served==
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) is the fire department of the California Natural Resources Agency in the State of California. It is responsible for fire protection in various forest and wildland areas under state responsibility totaling over 31 million acres, as well as the administration of the state's private and public forests. In addition, the department provides varied emergency services in 36 of the state's 58 counties via contracts with local governments. Operationally, CAL FIRE is divided into Northern and Southern Regions, with Regional Operation Centers in Redding and Riverside, Regional Headquarters in Santa Rosa and Fresno, and a Sacramento Headquarters. The two regions coordinate with the 21 administrative / operational units that span the State of California from the Oregon state line to the Mexican border. Within these units, there are 812 fire stations (237 state and 575 local government). CAL FIRE, in collaboration with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), is authorized to operate 30 conservation camps and five training centers located throughout the state. CAL FIRE also staffs 14 air attack bases, 10 helitack bases, and 1 CAL FIRE/San Diego County Sheriff helitack base throughout the state.

==Services==
CAL FIRE fire hand crews are comprised of career firefighters, California Conservation Corps members, in addition to adult inmates and Division of Juvenile Justice youth wards incarcerated with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. They are trained for wildland firefighting and, in some cases, for Urban Search and Rescue missions. 
In addition to fighting wildland fires, CAL FIRE responds to calls for structure fires, automobile accidents, medical emergencies, swift water rescues and hazardous material spills. Because CAL FIRE has large-scale incident management experience, the department often take the lead in large scale disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes, and other natural or man-made disasters. They also offer an expansive training curriculum to local fire departments as well as their own personnel. 
Historically, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) fire lookout tower stations provided the first reports of smoke on most wildland fires in what were once considered remote areas of the state. These days, many first reports of new fires come from people who live in wildland areas or people with cell phones who are driving through or recreating in remote areas. Because of this proven trend, CAL FIRE no longer uses lookouts in Southern California. CAL FIRE lookouts do, however, still play a role in fire detection in Northern California with CAL FIRE operating 24 fire lookout tower stations there during the peak wildland fire season. 
As part of the CAL FIRE team since 1995, the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) supports the CAL FIRE mission to protect life and property through fire prevention engineering programs, law and code enforcement and education. The OSFM provides for fire prevention by enforcing fire-related laws in state-owned or operated buildings, investigating arson fires in California, licensing those who inspect and service fire protection systems, approving fireworks as safe and sane for use in California, regulating the use of chemical flame retardants, evaluating building materials against fire safety standards, regulating hazardous liquid pipelines, and tracking incident statistics for local and state government emergency response agencies.
The OSFM, State Fire Training, and CAL FIRE Academy programs provide training education and certification programs for the California Fire Service. Through practical training exercises and classroom courses, every California firefighter is exposed to training standards that have been approved by CAL FIRE and OSFM, each among the best institutions in the nation for fire training education. 
CAL FIRE operates and manages communications equipment at 192 telecommunications (COM) sites throughout California. CAL FIRE’s telecommunications sites provide the essential emergency communications linkage for CAL FIRE’s fire protection and emergency response command and control throughout the State. Many of the CAL FIRE–managed mountaintop sites are also used and relied upon by other public safety agencies for their telecommunication needs. These mountaintop communications facilities typically consist of a telecommunications tower and a securable, environmentally controlled radio communications building (vault) housing sensitive radio transmission equipment.
=== Local Government Cooperative Agreements ===
CAL FIRE provides full-service fire protection to many of the citizens of California through the administration of 145 cooperative fire protection agreements in 33 of the State's 58 counties, 30 cities, 32 fire districts and 25 other special districts and service areas.

===Amador Agreements===
Amador agreements allow a district or municipality to fund the off-season operation of fire-season only stations. An Amador station is a CAL FIRE station, with CAL FIRE staff and equipment. The cost of running the station is borne by the state during fire season. 
===Contract Counties===
CAL FIRE is responsible for fire protection within State Responsibility Areas (SRA) totaling more than 31 million acres, and found in 56 of California's 58 counties. In most cases SRAs are protected directly by CAL FIRE, however, in Kern, Los Angeles, Marin, Orange, Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties, SRA fire protection is provided by the counties under contract with CAL FIRE. Known as "Contract Counties", they protect 3.4 million acres of SRAs.
==Personnel==
The heart of CAL FIRE’s emergency response and resource protection capability is a force of nearly 4,700 full-time fire professionals, foresters, and administrative employees; 3,100 seasonal firefighters; 5,600 local government volunteer firefighters; and 2,600 volunteers In prevention. In addition to paid employees and volunteers, CAL FIRE utilizes the services of approximately 4,300 inmates and wards from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) through the Conservation (Fire) Camp program. CDCR, in cooperation with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) and the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACFD), jointly operates 35 conservation camps, commonly known as fire camps, located in 25 counties across California. All camps are minimum-security facilities and all are staffed with correctional staff.
==Average annual responses== 
*Wildland fire: 5,600
*Non-Wildland Fire Emergencies: 350,000
==Apparatus Profile==
CAL FIRE uses various apparatus to accomplish their daily responses. Engines fall under two categories, either being state-owned — mostly wildland, or city/county owned, which Cal Fire operates under contract. The agency has used standardized wildland engine types since the early 1950s. Beginning with the Model 1 and progressing sequentially with each new type. Model numbers mark both evolutionary changes as well as equipment providing different capabilities. The most recent arrival was the Model 34 which was introduced in the late 2000s. The Model 34 features a 500gpm PTO driven main pump, 175gpm diesel auxiliary pump, and a 500 gallon tank. 
Until the late 2000s the agency tended to award contracts for equipment to smaller manufacturers within the State of California. Over the years a large number of manufacturers have supplied CAL FIRE with equipment, these include: Yankee, Wesco, Westates, Van Pelt, Coast, Howe, Klein, Earl Sherman, American LaFrance, B&Z, Paoletti, West-Mark, Master Body Works, Pierce, Placer Fire Equipment, and most recently HME. 
For the wildland portion, most engines are manufactured with West-Mark or Westates (now American Truck & Fire Apparatus) bodies on an International chassis. Commonly seen models of wildland engines include the Model 14, and 15. CDF Models 24 and 25 were test-bed models, with only a few of each model fielded. The newest versions of these engines are CDF model 34 (4WD) and 35 (2WD), manufactured by Placer Fire Equipment, Rosenbauer, and HME. Model 34/35's are currently being fielded statewide. As of 2009 Model 35's have been discontinued and Model 34's from BME Apparatus are the new standard. Fact sheets on all of Cal Fire's current-service Type 3 (wildland) engine models can be found on the Cal Fire Web site under Mobile Equipment. Although the Models 14/15 and Models 34/35 are a CAL Fire standard, they are also purchased by other government agencies for wildland use. An example would be the Bureau of Indian Affairs purchases equipment to the CAL Fire standard for its Wildland Fire Engine Program.
CAL FIRE's resources include the following apparatus: 
*1,095 Type 1 interface & Type 3 wildland engine companies (336 CAL FIRE & 759 contract/local government)
*38 Aerial ladder truck companies
*215 Rescue squads
*63 Paramedic units
*5 Mobile communications centers
*12 Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) response units
*11 Mobile kitchen units
*58 Type 2 wildland bulldozers
*58 Dozer transports & lowboy trailers
*49 Aircraft (23 fixed wing airtankers, 14 command & control aircraft & 12 water dropping helicopters)
==Air Program Profile==
Aircraft are a prominent feature of CAL FIRE, especially during the summer wildfire season. CAL FIRE co-owns its fleet of air tankers, tactical aircraft and helicopters, which are managed under the Aviation Management Program headquartered at McClellan Airfield near Sacramento. Additional aviation resources are leased by the department when needed. Both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft are employed. Helicopters, or rotary-wing aircraft, are used to transport firefighting "Helitack Crews" into fire areas. They also drop water and retardant chemicals on fires. Fixed-wing aircraft are used for command, observation, and to drop retardant chemicals on fires. All air assets are co-owned with the US Department of Agriculture (US Forest Service).
All of the fixed wing aircraft, while owned by CAL FIRE, are piloted and maintained by DynCorp International. The CAL FIRE Air Program is one of the largest non-military air programs in the country, consisting of 23 Grumman S-2F3AT Turbo Tracker 1,200 gallon airtankers, 14 North American Rockwell OV-10A Bronco air tactical / command and control aircraft and 12 Bell UH-1H Super Huey water dropping helicopters. CAL FIRE is in the process of adding 7 Lockheed C-130H Hercules 4,000 gallon airtankers, becoming fully operation in 2024 or 2025. In 2019, CAL FIRE began replacing the Super Hueys with 12 new Sikorsky S-70i Firehawks from United Rotorcraft. It is planned that the Super Hueys will be retired on a 1:1 basis as the S-70i fleet becomes operational. These air assets are stationed at 14 airtanker and 11 (10 CAL FIRE, 1 joint CAL FIRE/San Diego County Sheriff) helitack bases located statewide, and can reach most fires within 20 minutes. 
Since 2007, CAL FIRE has contracted with 10 Tanker Air Carrier for three years' of exclusive use of their McDonnell Douglas DC-10 "super tanker" known as Tanker 910, at a cost of $5 million per year. In 2014 "Tanker 910" was retired however, 10 Tanker Air Carrier continues to operate 2 other DC-10 "Super Tankers", Tanker 911 and 91
