Welcome to the South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue's local fire fighter page, we exist to serve the residents and visitors to SLT. Thanks for following us.
The South Lake Tahoe Fire Department services 16 sq. miles of urban /wildland interface housing with a population of roughly 24,500 people. We are neighbored by our close agency Lake Valley Fire Protection District and on the other side Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District.
As a department we strive to provide the utmost excellence in care for our community. Whether it is fire suppression, vehicle accidents, rescue situations, any kind of medical call, or responding to residences for concerned citizens that need help. As well as this we also provide many community outreach and education programs.
Our area promotes some of the most spectacular views of a high alpine lake in the country as well as endless outdoor activities. We are an all risk department which means we aim to tackle any obstacle placed in front of us. Not only are we next to a large body of water, but we also have a local airport, ski resorts, highway’s, and target hazard hotels located within the city limits just to name a few. Our highly trained personnel work around the clock to keep our community safe and we are proud to do it.
