History

The Santa Rosa Fire Department, like many departments across the United States, made its start as a volunteer organization on February 12, 1861.[4] Decades later in 1894 the Department made its transition to a paid organization. In 1906 a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake destroyed most of Santa Rosa.[5] The department’s grew to 100 firefighters in 1983 with the addition of the city of Roseland to the SRFD responsibility area.[4]
