== Department Profile ==
The Kern County Fire Department is budgeted for 687 permanent employees with 477 of them being uniformed / sworn firefighters, working out of 47 fire stations, and the remainder being civilian support staff. In addition, there are 69 part-time/temporary positions, primarily serving as seasonal wildland firefighters/hand crews. Personnel are on duty for 48 consecutive hours followed by 48 hours off. This cycle of 48 on and 48 off is repeated three times and then employees are off for 192 consecutive hours. KCFD utilizes a constant staffing model for its 24-hour line personnel. All trucks and engines are staffed with three personnel. Command units are each staffed with one person, the two ARFF units at Meadows field are also staffed with one person, and the single ARFF unit at Inyokern Airport is staffed with one person. The daily on-duty staffing is established at 161 personnel. The department is led by a Fire Chief, who is also the Director of Emergency Services. The Fire Chief is assisted by four Deputy Fire Chiefs who supervise activities in the department’s four divisions: Operations, Administration, Logistics, and Support Services. Included in the Operations Division is a Wildland Section, a Heavy Equipment Section (Dozers), Air Operations (Helicopters), and Special Operations (HazMat, USAR, ARFF, Industrial Firefighting & Mass Decon). KCFD provides Crash Fire Rescue (CFR) services to Meadows Field and Inyokern Airport. KCFD also provides EMS first responder services in conjunction with four private ambulance providers (Hall Ambulance, Delano Ambulance, Care Ambulance, and Liberty Ambulance). KCFD units operate at the Basic Life Support (BLS) level, with most units staffed with emergency medical technicians (EMTs) except for at the Pine Mountain Club station where KCFD operates at an ALS level. The department operates a Training Section, an Arson Investigations Unit, Fire Prevention & Plans Review, a Volunteer and Explorer Group, Information Technology, Fleet Services, Finance, Human Resources, and a 911 Communications Center. KCFD operates under a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with the City of Bakersfield to provide joint response to calls in either the city or the county from a combined force of both agencies.

== History ==
Kern County’s fire department was established in 1927 as a cooperative between the state and county. Prior to its inception, the California State Board of Forestry and the California Division of Forestry were placed in charge of fire protection services on state lands. Although volunteer firefighter’s serviced the county, the County Board of Supervisors realized the necessity of a more organized department and facilitated an agreement between the state and Kern County. On June 27, 1927, Ranger Roger V. Wood was hired to run the county’s operation. The following year, two more fire wardens were hired, and in 1929, the first fire truck was purchased. During the next 16 years, the department established stations in Bakersfield, Kernville, Arvin, Highland Park, Keene, Lebec, Wasco, Taft, Buttonwillow, Lost Hills, Delano, Tehachapi, Shafter, McFarland and Mojave. In the early 1940s, Kern County received $600,000 in federal funds for the construction of ire stations in Delano, Fellows, Maricopa, Woody, and East Bakersfield. In 1945, the county assumed all department operations
