Salton Community Services District operates two fire stations: one in Salton City and one in Desert Shores. An agreement for Fire Protection Service exists between the Imperial County Fire Department and Salton Community Services District. Training is administered for no less than four hours each month as required by the State Fire Marshall, state and federal regulations, and mandated in the fire services agreement.

The SCSD Fire Department service area covers the Border Patrol Check Point and Highway 78 to the south, the San Diego County Line to the west, the Riverside County Line to the north, and the Salton Sea to the east. In addition to responding to fire-related emergencies, the fire department responds to traffic collisions as well as medical emergencies to bridge the time gap until an ambulance EMT arrives.

At the present time we have 12 volunteer firefighters consisting  one Administrator/Fire Fighter, one Fire Chief, one Fire Marshall, 2 Captains and 10 firefighters.

Fire Department personnel are available seven days a week, 24 hours a day to respond to emergencies.
 

CityGate Assocites LLC to conduct a high-level fire master plan for scsd.  A final  report has been received and distributed to members of the board for comments or suggestions.  The purpose of the study is to determine what it would cost each parcel for fire suppression.   Public outreach will follow.
