Elected Board

Big Bear Fire Authority was formed under a Joint Powers Agreement in 2012 combining Big Bear Lake Fire Protection District and Big Bear City Fire Department, now commonly known as Big Bear Fire Department. Since its inception, Big Bear Fire Department is committed to providing Big Bear Valley with professional fire, medical and emergency services “Protecting Lives and Property,” with timely response to fire and medical emergencies.

The Big Bear Fire Authority is governed by a 10-member appointed Board which is comprised of all five elected Board of Directors from Big Bear City Community Services District and all five appointed Directors from the Big Bear Lake Fire Protection District, as a subsidiary Fire District to the City of Big Bear Lake. The Fire Authority Board of Directors are responsible for establishing Fire Authority policies, ordinances, resolutions and discussing and deciding on other issues that impact Fire Authority services and jurisdictional matters.

Regular Board Meetings are scheduled for the second Tuesday of even months at 5:00 p.m. These meetings are held at the Fire Authority headquarters station located at 41090 Big Bear Boulevard, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315.
