Sacramento Fire Department
The Sacramento Fire Department provides fire protection and emergency medical services to the city of Sacramento, California.[3] The department was first organized on February 5, 1850. It was not until March 30, 1872, when it finally became the first paid fire department west of the Mississippi River. Additionally, the city also provides contracted services for the Pacific Fruitridge Fire Protection District and Natomas Fire Protection District to provide emergency services.[4] This contracted area expands the departments response area to 146 square miles (380 km2) as they provide services to approximately 516,000 residents.[4]

Stations & Apparatus
The city itself has 20 fire stations spread across the city. It also operates out of 4 additional stations which are Contracted out to the City of Sacramento. In Addition, there is also a Reserve Station.[1] Each station has a fire engine as well as other specialty rigs. All specialty rigs, such as the wildland fire engines and the hazardous material truck are cross-staffed by engine and truck personnel.[2] There are also four boats spread across the stations for rescues in the two rivers that both run through, and border Sacramento, the American River and the Sacramento River, respectively.[5]

The previous content of this page or section has been identified as posing a potential copyright issue, as a copy or modification of the text from the source(s) below, and is now listed at Copyright problems :
Temporarily, the original posting is still accessible for viewing in the page history.

- Explain your intent to license the content on this article's discussion page.
- To confirm your permission, you can either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en
wikimedia.org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under CC BY-SA and the GFDL. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. - Note that articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.
Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage.
- Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.)
- For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
- It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.
- Posting copyrighted material without the express permission of the copyright holder is considered copyright infringement, which is both illegal and against Wikipedia policy.
- If you have express permission, this must be verified either by explicit release at the source or by e-mail or letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries.
- Policy requires that we block those who repeatedly post copyrighted material without express permission.
If you have tagged the article for investigation, please complete the following steps:
- Add the following to the bottom of Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2023 April 8:
* {{subst:article-cv|Sacramento Fire Department}} from http://portal.cityofsacramento.org/Fire/Operations/Special-Operations. ~~~~ - Place this notice on the talk page of the contributor of the copyrighted material:
{{subst:Nothanks-web|pg=Sacramento Fire Department|url=http://portal.cityofsacramento.org/Fire/Operations/Special-Operations}} ~~~~ - To hide a section instead of an entire article, add the template to the beginning of the section and {{Copyvio/bottom}} at the end of the portion you intend to blank.
