San Miguel Consolidated Fire Protection District is one of the largest Fire Districts in San Diego County, formed on July 1, 1988 through a merger of the Spring Valley and Grossmont/Mt. Helix Fire Protection Districts, and again on July 3, 2008 with the East County Fire Protection District. Operating on a projected budget of $21,512,800 for Fiscal Year 2020/2021 and serving approximately 134,000 residents in the communities of Bostonia, Casa de Oro, Crest, Grossmont/Mt. Helix, La Presa, Rancho San Diego, Spring Valley and the unincorporated areas of El Cajon and La Mesa.
A fire apparatus access roadway must extend to within 150 feet of all portions of a building or structure. This applies to both public and private roadways, driveways, etc. It is especially relevant when building a home on a large parcel where the home will be set back a large distance from the roadway. We have the authority to increase fire apparatus access road minimums where necessary for emergency access and public safety. Any dead-end fire apparatus access road greater than 150 feet in length requires an approved area for turning around emergency apparatus.
