Fire Department

The Gridley Fire Department protects Gridley community members, their lives, homes, property, and businesses. We protect Gridley from fire and other threats to life safety. We envision a community free of threat from fire or risk to life safety. We value: compassion, loyalty, integrity, and Gridley, the community we protect.

The Fire Department provides fire, rescue, emergency medical, public service, and hazardous materials emergency response service for the City. This includes fire prevention, pre-fire planning, emergency prepardness, firefighting, fire investigation, and code enforcement. The Fire Department operates two components, a career staff funded jointly by the City and County, responsible for day-to-day operations and a Volunteer Company providing the necessary depth of personnel for most incidents.

Training is done cooperatively with Butte County Fire and includes all basic firefighting skills: first aid, ladders, breathing apparatus use, hose streams, vehicle extrication, etc.  This ongoing training is in addition to the initial basic operations training course.  For more information about becoming a Gridley Volunteer Firefighter, go to www.joinbcfd.org and submit a Volunteer Firefighter Interest Form.
