Established 1917

The UC Davis Fire Department is a separate entity from the City of Davis Fire Department and other Davis area fire stations. It responds to emergencies such as medical aids, fire alarms, vehicle accidents, structure fires, hazardous materials incidents, and grass fires on the UC Davis campus and in surrounding areas.

The UC Davis Fire Department is comprised of two divisions; Fire Protection and Operations. The Fire Protection division employs about 10 people on campus and at the UC Davis Med Center. This division is responsible for maintaining fire protection and occupant safety in university buildings including fire extinguishers. The Operations division employs about 40 people at Station 34. Three shifts of 7 career firefighters rotate on a 2 days on, 4 days off schedule. Up to 15 Student Resident Firefighters live and work at Station 34. These career and student firefighters work together to staff one engine and one truck company 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.

The Student Firefighters host an annual all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast fund raiser for their Relay for Life team. They also put on the Fire Day on the Quad event.

This summer, the department took delivery of two new fire apparatus. Both a brand new Pierce ladder truck and hazmat unit have arrived to replace the prior apparatus. Both are red with a white upper cab to reflect the new department color scheme.
