Fire Department

Through a strategic partnership with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the Madera City Fire Department delivers comprehensive emergency and life-safety services. While personnel are managed by CAL FIRE, the Madera City Council retains local policy oversight to ensure all operations remain aligned with the community’s specific priorities.

The Department provides a robust suite of services, including:

• Emergency Services: Fire suppression, medical response, and specialized rescue operations.

• Prevention & Compliance: Rigorous safety inspections, technical plan reviews, and enforcement of municipal codes.

• Public Safety Support: Fire menace standby and dedicated community assistance.

This collaborative model ensures that the City of Madera receives responsive, high-tier fire protection tailored to the needs of its residents.
