History

Established in 1988, the Cathedral City Fire Department boasts a storied legacy of community service and innovation in fire and emergency response. From humble beginnings with a single fire station and a dedicated team of firefighters, we have evolved into a comprehensive, full-service fire and emergency response entity. Significant milestones in our journey include the establishment of our Emergency Medical Services (EMS) division, the integration of advanced life support services, and the cultivation of strategic partnerships with neighboring fire departments, amplifying our collective strength in regional safety and emergency preparedness.
