A department of the
Ramona Municipal Water District
In Cooperation with
The
California Department of Forestry and Fire
The Ramona Fire Department is a cooperative agreement between the California
Department of Forestry and The Ramona Water District covering over 75 square
miles of the Ramona service boundary the largest unincorporated area in San Diego
County. The Fire Department
provides Fire Suppression and Emergency Medical for an estimated 40,000
residents.
In 1981, the Ramona Fire District was consolidated into the
Ramona Municipal Water District. As fire service needs became more sophisticated and costly, the
District sought a more economic method of providing fire protection services at
an affordable cost to the community. The option chosen was to enter into a
contract with the California Department of Forestry (CDF) to provide
fire/paramedic personnel to the District. Today fire/paramedic personnel
wear the badges of the CDF and Ramona Fire Department on their uniforms.
Fire protection no longer is just about putting out fires.
Fire services today include what is often the most visible of all fire
activities, that of paramedic services. Additionally, much time is spent
preventing fires from occurring. Prevention includes services such as:
on-site inspection of all businesses in the community as well as weed abatement
inspections.
The Ramona Fire Department enforces local and
county fire ordinances. We utilize Fire Prevention Services to
inspect parcels and site property owners who are out of
compliance with local ordinances. Fire Prevention Services is
under the direct supervision of the Ramona Fire Marshal. The
Fire Marshal personally inspects every parcel which is slated
for violation enforcement. Violation enforcement will not
occur without proper documentation and the Fire Marshal's
approval.
Questions concerning weed abatement can be
directed to the Fire Department Secretary at (760)
788-2250 Monday thru Friday 8am-4pm.
There are three fire stations located strategically throughout
Ramona. Known as stations 80, 81, and 82, these stations house personnel and
equipment 24 hours a day, 365 days every year.
