CAL FIRE Administrative Units
This service is a latest depiction of CAL FIRE's 21 Units and 6 Contract Counties.Throughout the state, CAL FIRE has 21
operational units that are designed to address fire suppression over a
certain geographic area. Each unit operates within their local
jurisdiction and strives to fulfill the department's mission whether it
be responding to all-risk emergencies, participating in fire safety
education and educating homeowners on how to keep their property fire
safe. In addition, CAL FIRE provides funding to six 'Contract Counties' (Kern, Los Angeles, Marin, Orange, Santa Barbara and Ventura) for fire protection services,
including wages of suppression crews, lookouts, maintenance of fire
fighting facilities, fire prevention assistants, pre-fire management
positions, dispatch, special repairs, and administrative services. The
Department's budget also provides for infrastructure improvements, and
expanded fire fighting needs when fires grow beyond initial attack.Contract Counties are responsible for providing initial response to
fires on SRA. When a wildland fire escapes this initial attack, CAL FIRE
responds with fire fighting resources to assist the county.This service represents the latest official version of the CAL FIRE Administrative Units dataset, and is updated whenever a new version is released. As of June, 2019 it represents cdfadmin19_1.
