TRACY FIRE DEPARTMENT

What This Data Tells You About TRACY FIRE DEPARTMENT

TRACY FIRE DEPARTMENT operates as a Other department in Tracy, within San Joaquin County, and the HIFLD and USFA records give a precise structural picture of its response capacity. The department reports unreported personnel, no station count on file, no truck inventory reported. EMS capability is listed as active, which directly affects how medical calls in the service area are routed and how quickly an advanced life support unit can reach a patient. Department type matters because career, volunteer, and combination organizations carry very different response-time profiles and funding sources.

Benchmarking against the state gives this profile context. California has 1,309 registered fire departments and 48,526 total personnel, averaging roughly 37 staff per department. Direct staffing comparisons are limited where personnel counts are not reported. The state records about 168,000 fires, 346 fire deaths, and 40% volunteer coverage each year, which shapes training, funding priorities, and mutual-aid patterns felt at every department in the state.

Federal investment further defines this department's trajectory: TRACY FIRE DEPARTMENT has received 3 FEMA grants totaling $1,305,749 through the AFG and SAFER programs, money typically spent on PPE, SCBA, training, and hiring or retaining career staff. Residents, insurers, and mutual-aid partners use these data points to judge whether coverage is adequate for the built environment, whether ISO ratings are defensible, and where future capital investment should flow.
