Our Services
SPFD operates four advanced life support (ALS) engine companies capable of providing fire suppression, ALS emergency medical services, vehicle extrication, and more. In addition, crews cross-staff wildland apparatus for use during grass and wildfires.
The District is also one of only three public agencies in Placer County to provide ambulance service to our community. This service is accomplished through two strategically located transport ambulances staffed by well-trained firefighters and paramedics and has been in continual service since 1962.

The State has provided an Office of Emergency Services (OES) typed resource to respond to wildfires anywhere in the State if needed, supported by District personnel and paid for by the State in times of Emergency.
