Fire Station Information
We do not publish or distribute the phone numbers of individual fire stations to ensure that all calls for emergencies go to the E-911 Center for proper and quick direction to the nearest available fire and emergency service provider.
Burn Ban
The outdoor bun ban was lifted on Oct 1, so outdoor burning may be allowed by the DCFD; however, due to fire and drought conditions, we reserve the right to cancel or not issue as needed.
