Point Mugu Camp Fire Department

== Area Served ==
Point Mugu Camp was the predecessor to Naval Air Station Point Mugu which was a United States Navy air station that operated from 1942 until 2000 near the cities of Port Hueneme and Oxnard, in Ventura County, Southern California. In 2000, it merged with the nearby Naval Construction Battalion Center Port Hueneme to form Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC). The name "Mugu "is believed to be derived from the Chumash Indian term "Muwu", meaning "beach", which was the name of a village at Point Mugu during pre-colonial times, and first mentioned by Spanish maritime explorer Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo in his journals in 1542. The airfield has two runways and encompasses a 36,000-square-mile sea test range, the Point Mugu Sea Range, anchored by Navy-owned San Nicolas Island. The range allows the military to test and track weapons systems in restricted air- and sea-space without encroaching on civilian air traffic or shipping lanes. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) was the host unit at NAS Point Mugu. 
== Department Profile ==
Aircraft rescue and firefighting, structure firefighting, wildlife firefighting, emergency medical services, hazmat services, technical rescue, fire prevention and inspection for NAS Point Mugu was provided by Navy Region Southwest / Federal Fire, consisting of civilian career firefighters. on October 11, 2000, during a ceremony held at Point Mugu, Naval Base Ventura County was created out of three separate facilities (Naval Air Station Point Mugu, Naval Construction Battalion Center Port Hueneme and San Nicolas Island), resulting in Federal Fire Ventura County taking over fire protection for all three locations.
== History ==
The facility at Point Mugu began life as a United States Navy anti-aircraft training center during World War II and was developed in the late 1940s as the Navy's major missile development and test facility. This was where most of the Navy's missiles were developed and tested during the 1950/1960 era. In December 1988, the 146th Airlift Wing began moving from its home in Van Nuys. Los Angeles County, to a new facility built on 204 acres of state-owned land adjacent to the Point Mugu facility, known as Channel Islands Air National Guard Station. Point Mugu was the airfield used by former President Ronald Reagan during his presidency on visits to his Santa Barbara ranch. The airfield was used during his state funeral in 2004, as the place where the former President's body was flown to Washington, D.C. to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda. The body was flown back to Point Mugu aboard presidential aircraft SAM 28000 two days later.
