As fire service professionals and leaders, we are motivated and committed to providing the highest level of safety and service to the individual and collective communities.

The leaders of the fire service agencies in San Diego County are committed to amplifying our effectiveness through active partnerships.
In addition, the San Diego County Fire Chiefs are unwavering in our collective efforts to actively address the overall health of our firefighters and fire service professionals through mental health engagement, professional development, comprehensive wellness, and aggressive cancer prevention efforts.
