Welcome to the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District’s web site. Just like our organization, you will be watching this site go through changes over the next few months. This is an exciting time of change for our Fire District. Our committed team of Firefighters, Paramedics, Fire Prevention Officers, Administrative Staff and our elected Board of Directors are well prepared to meet the challenges of the future. Not only in our Fire District, but the Fire Service in general.

We welcome all who visit this site to also visit our Community. The 40-square miles of our Fire District are truly a special place nestled along the “Gold Coast” of southern Santa Barbara County. Our District is blessed with a small town feel and a true sense of community. The importance of community requires all of us in public safety to remain ever vigilant and in touch with the needs of those who live and visit this special place. It is our promise that your Fire Department stands ready to serve, prepared for the future and dedicated to our special calling as Emergency Responders.
