The Monterey County Regional Fire District was formed in 1934. The original boundaries surrounded the City of Salinas and ran down River Road to Pine Canyon. Over the years, annexations into the District have increased its service area to approximately 400 square miles with a population of about 40,000 residents. The Fire District staffs seven fire stations with 70 full-time employees. Monterey County Regional Fire District responds to structure, wildland, vehicle, and other types of fires, public service calls, medical emergencies, vehicle accidents and hazardous material responses. We provide ambulance service to the Carmel Valley Region as allowed by the Health & Safety code 1797.201. On average of 3,500 calls per year.
