Who We Are

Providing fire, rescue, and EMS services for Humboldt County’s Lost Coast, Shelter Cove Fire is an all risk volunteer fire department under the Resort Improvement District No. 1.

The Shelter Cove Fire Department Covers a 49 square mile district with around 700 homes and buildings including 9 hotel/motels, 2 public beaches, and  Shelter Cove Airport. The Shelter Cove Fire Department covers this district with 4 fire engines, 1 ambulance, 2 ATV rescue units, and 3 ocean rescue units. SCFD responds to around 200 calls for service every year including fires, medical emergencies, rescues, and hazmat incidents.

The fire department also helps to maintain one of Southern Humboldt’s only fully hydranted communities with 235 fire hydrants and 2 million gallons of stored water. This adds up to around 2000 fire fighter hours a year devoted to providing the upmost level of care to the residents and visitors of Shelter Cove.
