Emergency Operations

Emergencies are our business and our firefighters and paramedics train every day to better serve the people of Santa Barbara County.

Every situation requires special skills and equipment in order to resolve the problem quickly and safely for both the victims and Department personnel.

There are a lot of things you can due to prepare for emergencies. Does your family have a Disaster Kit, First Aid Supplies, Working Smoke Detectors and Fire Extinguishers?

Please take a few minutes and visit our Special Teams pages to learn more about the variety of situations that the Department handles.
