A MESSAGE FROM THE FIRE CHIEF

Thank you for visiting the Carlsbad Fire Department's homepage. We hope you will find our web site informative and helpful for you and your family members. The men and women of the Carlsbad Fire Department are proud of the fire, rescue, prevention and emergency medical services we provide to the community, however, it is you the citizen that has the greatest impact on your family's safety.

Too often the fire department responds to emergency incidents that could have been prevented. Please take the time to read through the home and life safety information provided on our web site. You will find that by following a few simple precautions you can greatly reduce the chances of your family ever experiencing a life or property threatening situation.

Hopefully, you will never need our emergency services, but if you do, we pledge to respond with a fast, well-trained and courteous team of professionals to your call for help.

-- Fire Chief Kevin Crawford
