The Tomales Fire Station is located in the community
of Tomales. The jurisdiction is comprised of the Tomales Bay coastline, Pacific
Ocean and ranches with rolling grass hillsides. Due to the remote location of Tomales, the fire engine
is staffed with a paramedic and lifesaving Advanced Life Support equipment.
This was the first fire engine in Marin County staffed full time by a
paramedic. Tomales is the only Marin County Station to utilize volunteers
to supplement the permanent staff. Volunteers provide many of the same
services as the full-time staff. In a remote area such as Tomales, volunteers
greatly reduce the time needed to provide a second engine company to the
scene of an emergency. For more information about becoming a Tomales Volunteer
Fire Fighter, please contact the station using the information listed
below.

of Bodega Bay, Two Rock, Valley Ford and the US Coast Guard Base in Two Rock.
