Presidio Fire Department

The Presidio Fire Department, located in San Francisco, CA, has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century, when a tragic fire in 1915 highlighted the need for improved firefighting resources at the Presidio. Established in 1917, it became the first permanent fire company on any U.S. Army post, staffed with trained firefighters to combat both wildland and structural fires.

Since becoming a national park in 1994, the Presidio Fire Department has evolved to include emergency paramedic services, responding to the majority of emergency calls in the area. The fire station, rehabilitated in 1998 to meet modern safety standards, continues to serve as a vital first response unit for the Presidio community.
