Welcome to the Pinole Fire Department website. We hope you will learn about our small but dynamic fire department and we encourage you to forward any questions that you may have to me at jparrott@ci.pinole.ca.us.

In addition to serving the City of Pinole, the surrounding unincorporated areas of Tara Hills, Bayview, Montara Bay and the northern Alhambra Valley have been covered under contract with Contra Costa County for over forty years. The total population served is approximately 27,000. Interaction with surrounding departments is also very high with a large percentage of our calls involving automatic or mutual aid. Pinole Fire handles approximately 2,400 calls per year and we are proud to have placed our second fire station into service this past year.

Coverage responsibilities for our department include the major interstate freeway with nearly a quarter million vehicle trips per day; two major rail lines, underground petroleum pipelines, eleven schools, a hospital and several large senior housing complexes. Geographically significant features include large wildland interface areas as well as san Pablo Bay bordering our north side.

We look forward to providing quality service that you can count on when you need it.

Sincerely,

Jim Parrott
Fire Chief
