Support The UC Davis Fire Department in the Fire Truck Face-Off
The UC Davis Fire Department is participating in the Fire Truck Face-Off competition presented by Golden State Fire Apparatus. Fire Departments across California are battling in this Fire Truck Face-Off to raise awareness—and hopefully $1,500—for their chosen charity.
The UC Davis Fire Department is your go-to resource for ordering, installing, and maintaining AEDs. We’ll help you from start to finish by guiding you through the purchase and installation process and then coordinating on-going checks and maintenance. We can also help with CPR/AED training so more people feel confident using one in an emergency. It’s a simple purchase that could save a life!
The UC Davis Fire Department is offering free appointments for anyone who wants to learn how to properly install and secure a car seat. Certified Fire Department staff will provide a one-on-one, hands-on inspection to ensure that the car seat is safe to use, and correctly installed in your vehicle.
Calling 911 is completely free, and our team is ready to respond quickly to keep situations under control. Whether it’s a medical concern, a fire alarm, or something that doesn’t feel right, don’t hesitate to call. The sooner our dispatchers are notified, the sooner our first responders can act.

On Nov. 19, the UC Davis Fire Department celebrated the arrival of its new Fire Truck with a traditional push-in ceremony.
This tradition dates back to the era of horse-drawn fire carriages when firefighters would physically push a new firefighting vehicle into the station. Held at Station 34, the event marked a milestone for the department, which only replaces its ladder truck every 15–20 years.
