Mission Statement

 

It is the South Lake County Fire Protection District's (SLCFPD) mission to minimize injuries, fatalities, and property losses through efficient and effective fire protection programs while maintaining a high level of fire suppression of structural, vehicular and wildland fires. In addition, minimizing injuries and fatalities related to emergency medical incidents by providing rescue and Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance services

Standards

 

SLCFPD has adopted the California Department of Forestry (CDF) Fire Safe Standards as fire protection guidelines for existing structures and new development in areas exposed to wildland interface fires as recommended in the Cobb and Middletown Area Plans of 1989. The basis for fire service standards rely on studies of the District, standards and practices of Fire Officers, LAFCO Sphere of influence studies, the Lake County General and Community Plans, the Insurance Services Office standards and testing of the Fire Protection System and the National Fire Protection Association Standards.
