Today, the Santa Barbara City Fire Department protects a population of over 92,000 residents within a 23 square mile area of Southern California coastline. Within this lush expanse of land and sea lurks the ever-present potential for chaparral and wildfires, community disruption through earthquake, flood or wind damage, the danger of hazardous material spills, freeway disasters and other man made disasters. With a commitment to public education, ongoing training and state-of-the-art rescue and firefighting equipment, the skilled men and women of Santa Barbaras firefighting force are well prepared to meet the challenges of community preparedness for the 21st century.
We will learn how the Santa Barbara County Fire Department is organized; its responsibilities beyond firefighting; techniques for fighting wildfires from the air and on the ground; command and coordination responsibilities of aircraft, ground fire fighters and between agencies such as Cal Fire; logistics, including sourcing equipment such as aircraft, heavy equipment, and housing and feeding thousands of fire fighters during a large fire.
Craig Vanderzwaag is Captain of the Santa Barbara County
Fire Department
