==History ==
The San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department commenced operations on January 13, 2019. The department was formed following the establishment of a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) on November 22, 2017, and represents the merger of the
*Belmont Fire Department
*San Mateo Fire Department
*Foster City Fire Department
The original joint powers agreement from 2010 was between San Mateo and Foster City in an effort to lessen the administrative burden and resource allocation between their respective fire departments, with Belmont Fire Department joining the group in 2013. Under the JPA, each member city continues to purchase apparatus to contribute to the department.
