The Santa Maria Fire Department has transitioned to the Santa Barbara County Regional Fire Communications Center, a collaborative move with other county fire departments to enhance emergency response and to improve public safety outcomes.

As part of the change, Santa Maria Fire and all fire agencies in the county have dropped pre-defined jurisdictional boundaries to allow for the closest, most appropriate apparatus to be dispatched to every emergency incident.

The transition represents a significant step forward in modernizing fire and EMS dispatch services according to the department, creating a more unified and efficient system that allows for real-time coordination and faster deployment of resources across jurisdictional boundaries.
