Ventura County Fire Department

Composed of approximately 600 dedicated men and women, the Ventura County Fire Department is an all-hazard, full-service agency. We proudly provide fire protection, medical aid, rescue, hazardous materials response, and a variety of other services to the public. Formed in 1928 as a special district, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors acts as the fire department’s board of directors. These five elected supervisors appoint the fire chief and task him with providing fire protection services for the district. This includes Supervisors Matt LeVere, Linda Parks, Kelly Long, Bob Huber, Carmen Ramirez, and County Executive Officer Michael Powers.
