The San Bernardino County Fire Department is an all-risk/full-service fire department committed to providing the highest level of service in the most efficient and cost effective manner to the citizens and communities we serve. Services provided go well beyond fire suppression and protection.

Local fire suppression, rescue, emergency medical and paramedic ambulance transportation services are provided to the Town of Yucca Valley from Station 41 located in the heart of town and Station 42 in the Yucca Mesa area.

Administration, operations, and community safety functions for County Fire’s Division Five which includes the Town are located at 6942 Airway Avenue in Yucca Valley.

 
Our County Fire Team is involved in a number of community oriented activities and outreach. This includes public education in our local schools and at community events, public safety announcements and seasonal fire safety messages that are distributed by our local media partners, and annual events such as “Fire Prevention Week” and our partnership with the public and civic organizations distributing toys during the holidays.

Our local team is backed by several other County Fire supporting divisions. The Office of the Fire Marshal provides planning and engineering services, hazardous materials response, and fire and arson investigation. The Training Division provides a variety of training courses and includes an EMS section which is staffed with two registered nurses and a paramedic as certified trainers. The Office of Emergency Services provides disaster assistance to all 24 cities and towns in our county as well as support to the unincorporated areas of county. Our OES staff has ensured the County is officially "Storm Ready" and prepared for the variety of disasters we may encounter. The Support Services Division includes vehicle maintenance, warehouse services, facility maintenance, and emergency incident support for our all-risk mission.

We are especially proud of our volunteers in the Community Emergency Response Teams and Emergency Communication Service (amateur or ham radio). These volunteers give of their time to help protect their communities and improve disaster preparedness, response and communications.

We are also proud of our relationships with our cooperating fire departments, law enforcement agencies, and community organizations and will continue to foster them to ensure our multi-agency readiness in the event of a local disaster.

Your Fire Department is dedicated to the health and well-being of the citizens we serve in Yucca Valley. Please call us with any questions or concerns, and thank you for allowing us to serve you with a department that is dedicated to providing “Premier Fire Services”.
