Fire protection and paramedic services are provided to the City through a contractual agreement with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CALFire). The City and the County Fire Department developed an agreement to provide similar services to Oak Glen and the unincorporated regions along the eastern boundaries of the City. Yucaipa's unique location, varied topography, vast open space, and dry weather make the community especially vulnerable to fire. The community is surrounded by High and Very High Fire Severity Zones as mapped by the California Department of Fire and Fire Protection.
