The City of Angels Fire Department is a combination fire department, meaning that we utilize full-time and part-time, as well as volunteers to provide service to our citizens. We currently operate out of two fire stations to provide an ISO rating of 4. Fire Station #1, the main fire station, is located at 1404 Vallecito Road on the south end of the City and houses 1-type I fire engine, 1-type VI fire engine and 3-fire department staff vehicles. Station #1 is staffed by one (1) full time Company Officer and one (1) paid on-call Firefighter 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Station #2 is located in the same building as our police department at 200 Monte Verda St. At Station #2, we house 1-type I fire engine, a community emergency response team van and our fleet of antique fire equipment. Station #2 is not a staffed fire station, it is primarily used for secondary response by firefighters called back to handle emergencies and to store equipment and tools. Station #2 contains the fire department’s breathing air compressor system and is used as a landing zone for air ambulances.
