The Sacramento Fire Department is dedicated to a paramount mission: saving lives, safeguarding property, and minimizing our environmental footprint. As a full-service fire department, we stand ready to respond to a wide spectrum of emergencies, including fires, medical crises, and hazardous situations, ensuring the safety and well-being of our community.

We go beyond our city limits, collaborating with neighboring fire jurisdictions, as well as state and federal agencies, through automatic and mutual aid agreements to bolster our emergency response capabilities. To achieve these critical objectives and make a tangible difference in our community, we've established several specialized divisions, each with a distinct role and purpose. These divisions are the backbone of our mission, working together seamlessly to ensure our city's safety and resilience.
