Cosumnes Fire Department participates in mutual aid with our neighboring agencies, and is called on by the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to assist in larger incident events.
Current Deployments
Wildfire Season
According to CAL FIRE, the fire season in California and across the West is starting earlier and ending later each year. Warmer spring and summer temperatures, reduced snowpack, and earlier spring snowmelt create longer dry seasons that increase moisture stress on vegetation and make forests more susceptible to wildfire.
2018 Wildfires
The 2018 wildfire season was the deadliest and the most destructive fire season in California history, burning close to 2 million acres. Cosumnes Fire Department OES engines, Type 3’s and strike team leaders had firefighters working around the clock, battling the brutal blazes aggravating our State. From the Carr Fire, Mendocino Complex, and Camp Fire, we are fortunate and thankful all our firefighters returned home safe.
