SECTION L – FIRE PROTECTION BY GEOGRAPHIC SUBREGION<br />
Fire <strong>Protection</strong> by Geographic Subregion<br />
Fire protection <strong>and</strong> emergency medical services within much of the <strong>Ramona</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning<br />
Area is provided by the <strong>Ramona</strong> Municipal Water District (RMWD), which contracts<br />
with CAL FIRE for these services. The RMWD governs the <strong>Ramona</strong> Fire <strong>Protection</strong><br />
District. The Fire District boundaries correspond to the RMWD boundaries, including<br />
the Town Center, San Diego Country Estates, the Highl<strong>and</strong> Valley region <strong>and</strong> other<br />
outlying areas, <strong>and</strong> covers approximately 75 square miles.<br />
The RMWD operates three fire stations within the District. Other agencies <strong>and</strong> groups<br />
also provide fire protection to the <strong>Ramona</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning Area, outside of the RMWD<br />
boundaries. CAL FIRE operates two fire stations, one within the RMWD boundaries at<br />
the base of Mt. Woodson, <strong>and</strong> one in the Witch Creek area. Intermountain Fire <strong>and</strong><br />
Rescue Department, Inc. also operates a fire station in the Witch Creek area. The<br />
Highl<strong>and</strong> Hills area of <strong>Ramona</strong> lies within the area served by the San Pasqual Volunteer<br />
Fire Department, Inc.. Barona Mesa lies within the jurisdiction of the San Diego Rural<br />
Fire <strong>Protection</strong> District. In addition, the U. S. Forest Service operates two fire stations<br />
within the boundaries of the RMWD, one at Station 81, in San Diego Country Estates,<br />
<strong>and</strong> one on Black Canyon Road. There is a Mutual Aid agreement between CAL FIRE,<br />
Intermountain Fire <strong>and</strong> Rescue Department, Inc., the RMWD, <strong>and</strong> the San Diego Rural<br />
Fire <strong>Protection</strong> District, as well as the San Pasqual Volunteer Fire Department, Inc..<br />
Agreements with all fire service providers provide first responder services for any<br />
emergency incident, known as the closest resource concept. County Service Area 135,<br />
which includes areas outside of the RMWD, is currently being funded with enhancement<br />
funding by the County of San Diego. Future fire station locations proposed are in the<br />
Montecito Road/Airport area of the RMWD.<br />
