FIRE PROTECTION

The Valley is protected from fire and disaster by four different full-time fire protection agencies, including the Big Bear Lake Fire Protection District, which serves the City of Big Bear Lake, the Big Bear City Community Services District Fire Department, which serves the east valley area,  the County of San Bernardino Fire Department providing service to the community of Fawnskin, and the U.S. Forest Service protecting the surrounding federal forest land. All four agencies provide mutual aid to each other upon request.
