City governments, county governments, California Department of Forestry (CDF), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), National Parks Service (NPS) & United States Forest Service (USFS), provide fire protection for California. CDF responds to all fires and calls not covered by city governments, county governments, USFS and BLM. CDF also responds to all State Parks fire calls. California Governor's Office of Emergency Services is listed separately below. California Department of Forestry: The California Department of Forestry is separated into four regions. The first number of every unit identification number represents the region number that unit is from. The second number is the CDF Unit number within that region. The remaining two numbers tell the type of unit. However, administratively there are two regions, the Northern Region and Southern Region. Santa Rosa is the Northern Region's Headquarters and Redding is the Northern Region's Operation Center. Fresno is the Southern Region's Headquarters and Riverside is the Southern Region's Operation Center. Click on the appropriate region to the left, for a rundown of frequencies the CDF Unit's use. I have also included a list of statewide command frequencies and tactical frequencies in list form. Also to the left, are CDF Unit guides for select CDF Units. Apparatus and station assignments for counties are listed on the county guide.
