The Carmel Valley Fire Protection District is located in Monterey County, California. The Fire District encompasses approximately 50 square miles and serves a population of around 20,000 citizens. Its Eastern Boundaries extend to San Clemente Drive in the Sleepy Hollow area, and the Western border is at Rancho San Carlos Rd. The District extends south into the Santa Lucia Preserve and North into the hills that rise from the Valley floor.
The Carmel Valley Fire Protection District is a consolidated independent special fire district formed in 2001. Its predecessor districts date back to 1976 and 1946, respectively. For many years the citizens of Carmel Valley were served by volunteer firefighters. Today the district continues to be staffed by a combination of three volunteer battalions, as well as a paid staff of 20 employees, and a seven-member Board of Directors.There are two permanent stations - one at 26 Via Contenta in Carmel Valley Village, and one at 8455 Carmel Valley Rd. An additional temporary station is located on the Santa Lucia Preserve and will be replaced in the future by a permanent facility.
Apparatus & Equipment
Our equipment allows us to handle a wide variety of emergency incidents from all types of fires, to vehicle accidents and other rescues, to medical emergency responses with advanced life support paramedic ambulances.
Type I Engines
CVFPD operates a total of five first and second line Type I structure fire engines. In addition to structure fire response, these vehicles can respond to motor vehicle accidents and other hazardous conditions.Type III Engines
Type III engines are designed to fight wildland fires in off-road terrain. They give us the ability to fight fire while the vehicle is moving (known as pump and roll), or as a fixed pumping apparatus on a wildland fire.Water Tenders
Our two 2100 gallon water tenders essentially allow us to provide large quantities of water for fire attack operations, even when hydrant supplies are limited or non-existent. They can pump their water to another engine, dump their supply into portable tanks, or even pump pressurized water like a type I engine, but at a lesser capacity.Rescues
The rescue vehicles serve a dual purpose in our department. Most often, they support the ambulance crews on a medical emergency by providing vital personnel, equipment and skills. In larger scale incidents, the rescues carry specialized equipment for vehicle extrications (jaws of life), rope rescue operations, lighting, heavy lifting, stabilization and many other functions.Ambulances
Carmel Valley Fire provides the highest level of emergency medical response to its citizens with paramedic staffing at both stations. This allows us to bring advanced life support techniques performed in the hospital to the patient. This early intervention in the field can make a considerable difference in a patient's outcome at the hospital.
