Dear Residents and Visitors,
Thank you for
visiting the website of the San Luis Obispo Fire Department. The men and
women of this department recognize our responsibility to help ensure the
safety of all the people in our city. We look at public service as a
privilege and value the trust we are given by the people we serve.
For more than 130
years, our Department has worked hard to adapt and change as the
challenges to the fire service have changed. We have now moved into the
21st century and provide a full-service fire department to a very
special community. I believe our greatest asset is our team of
employees who consistently go above and beyond in delivering vital
services.
As your Fire
Chief, I take it as my personal responsibility to make this city as safe
as possible through Suppression, Emergency Medical Service, Prevention
and Public Education. I encourage you to browse through our web pages,
especially the “Disaster Prep” pages, to see the work of this highly
respected department. Through a partnership with the people of the City
of San Luis Obispo, we intend to make this unique city an even more
attractive place to live, work, and visit.
John Callahan,
Fire
