WELCOME TO METRO FIRE

On December 1, 2000, two local fire districts came together and formed the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District. From public education and training to firefighting, emergency services, search and rescue and more, your Metro Fire professionals stand ready to serve the greater Sacramento region. We invite you to visit this site often and let us know what we can do to improve our partnerships with you, our community.

The highly skilled firefighters and support personnel of Metro Fire serve nearly 640,000 citizens over a 417-square-mile area, serving Sacramento & Placer counties including the City of Citrus Heights and the City of Rancho Cordova.

Historically, Metro Fire represents 16 former fire agencies, some of which were founded more than six decades ago.  Today, Metro Fire is the seventh-largest fire district in California with 42 strategically located fire stations.

Thanks to fire district consolidations, we are more effective than ever.  We operate a central 911 dispatch center and a unified communications system that keeps all our fire companies informed and connected.  Mergers have also enhanced the consistency of our training and operations, helping us maintain our reputation as a respected leader in firefighting and emergency services.

THE BEST WAY TO FIGHT A FIRE IS TO PREVENT IT

Even with our special training we can't be with you all the time to remind you to be safe.  Therefore, we are requesting that you help yourself with this important fire safety tip - check your smoke alarms! Confirm that they are functioning and maintained. We suggest, that every time you change your clock - change out the batteries as well. Tonight, go ahead and have all family members practice your evacuation drill right after dinner. Activate one of the alarms by testing the alarm for all family members to recognize the sound. Have everyone practice your escape plan and locate your meeting place. Do you know where everyone will be at three o'clock in the morning?

Practice!   Practice!   Practice!
