On behalf of the men and women of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, I welcome you to our website. All of our members are committed to providing the highest level of service delivered with pride, professionalism, and excellence! What an honor it is to be selected as the District's new Fire Chief.
My commitment to you is to take every precaution to better protect and prepare the public for emergencies. Our staff is continually working to ensure that our personnel, equipment and facilities are operational ready at all times and that our fire prevention efforts meet the community's needs and provide for the safety of the citizens.
During a large scale disaster, local resources will be strained and it may take time for help to arrive. A well prepared and resilient community must be part of the solution. We live in an area that is prone to natural disasters such as wildfire. During my tenure with the District, we have experienced several large fires that have burned thousands of acres, consumed hundreds of homes, and have resulted in the loss of life.

The earliest mentions of fire protection for the area are found in journals kept by local residents. One such resident was concerned that "the nearest fire station was located in Escondido, twelve miles to the east over a bad road." An entry made in 1922 spoke of a station open only seasonally by the California Division of Forestry (CDF).
To schedule an appointment with a Fire Prevention Specialist to discuss concerns regarding potential hazards on your property, or to report a potential hazard on another property, email the Fire Prevention Bureau here. Please be sure to include your name, telephone number, your concern or inquiry, and whether you would like a property inspection.
The Board of Directors has the responsibility to establish policies and guidelines for the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District that may exceed County ordinances. The Board meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 1:00 p.m. Meetings are held in the Board Community Room located at 18027 Calle Ambiente (Administrative Offices).
Our Administrative Office, which was once housed at Station 1, is located in Cielo Plaza at the entrance to the community of Cielo, across Calle Ambiente from Station 4. The new location is more centrally located to all areas of the district and will allow us to better meet the needs of our customers.
