The San Rafael Fire Department (SRFD) provides fire and emergency medical services to the City of San Rafael, California. The San Rafael Fire Department serves an estimated population of 59,000 people with approximately 75 firefighting and emergency medical field personnel. The ISO Class 1 department responds to, on average, approximately 7000 emergency calls annually, with about 70% being emergency medical calls. EMS patients are transported to the hospital of there choice, unless the call is urgent.The department staffs seven stations with 23 personnel daily. Strategically located throughout the city are five frontline engines, an aerial ladder truck, two frontline ambulances, and a battalion chief per shifts. An additional engine is cross staffed by the crew of the frontline truck, and an additional ambulance and ladder truck are cross staffed by the crew of an engine. County wide mutual aid provides relief and additional support during large scale incidents and during high call volume. Because the majority (70%) of calls are EMS related, a paramedic is onboard all engines. Also, an additional ambulance is stored at station 55 (medic 55). While this unit is not staffed full-time, it is cross staffed by the crew of the Engine company and can respond if Medics 51 and 53 are committed to calls. In 2017, the department responded to 8,841 total calls, up from 7,041 in 2012.
