==Department Profile==
The San Luis Obispo County Fire Department (or SLO County) consists of 180 full-time career firefighters assigned to 5 battalions working three alternating 24-hour shifts out of 22 fire stations. These full-time employees are supplemented by up to 100 seasonal firefighters, 300 paid-call and reserve firefighters, and 120 state inmate firefighters during the peak California wildland season. The department responds to over 14,900 all-risk, all-hazard emergencies annually. 
==History==
Since 1930, San Luis Obispo County has contracted with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to provide fire protection and emergency medical services (EMS) to the County. Under the contract, CAL FIRE provides personnel and the SLO County provides facilities, vehicles, equipment, as well as supplies for the services provided. 
On December 1, 2018, San Luis Obispo County Fire/CAL FIRE assumed the responsibility for fire protection in the unincorporated community of Cayucos through a contractual agreement, resulting in the Cayucos Fire Department being disbanded as well as the Cayuco Fire Protection District being dissolved that same year.
