Wildfire Season Has Begun In California

Colma Fire Protection District

The Colme Fire protection District reminds all our residents that one of the most important things we can do to prevent devastating vegetation fires is to cut and clear all overgrown weeds and vegetation.  This includes yards and vacant lots. Defensible space is fundamental to successfully defending homes and buildings threatened by wildfire.

Please contact Deputy Fire Marshal Bill Pardini at bpardini@colmafd.org or 650-755-5666 if you would like to discuss clearing your property or have concerns.

Note:  If you live in the Town of Colma and need to report a violation, please call the City of Colma Code enforcement at 650-757-8888.

All other locations outside of the Town of Colma please report any weed/ Grass concerns to San Mateo County Code Enforcement at 650-363-4825.

If you would like to learn more about preparing for a wildfire, please Visit CalFire for more information on how to keep your property safe.

Our department is unique in the bay area in that it is a Paid – on – call department whose members respond from home or work 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The fire district has a paramedic on duty 24 hours a day ready to respond to any call for medical assistance. In addition, all of our members are certified as fully trained firefighters able to mitigate any emergency.
