Facilities and Equipment
Construction of the 13,000 sq. ft. headquarters fire station was completed in January 1994. District business offices in the downtown Tiburon location include the Chief of Department, Fire Prevention Bureau, and Finance Department.
The Volunteer Association meets the first Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. in the conference room of the main station and the District Board of Directors meets the second Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the conference room.
Tiburon fire Protection District Headquarters, Station 11, is staffed on a 24-hour basis by the Battalion Chief, Driver-Operator, and two Firefighters. The 18-member strong Tiburon Volunteer Fire Department is available by alpha numeric pagers for station cover-in and fire response to all greater alarms. This augmentation to the department work force is especially valuable during natural disasters involving earthquakes, floods, mud slides, and other storm damage which may block mutual aid access to the Tiburon Peninsula.
In January 2005, the district took delivery of a 2005 Pierce Dash 2000 type-I fire engine. Construction details for the new apparatus include: six cylinder Detroit Diesel engine, automatic Allison transmission, 1500 gallon per minute Waterous pump, 500 gallon water tank, and a 20 gallon class A foam system. The custom engine has just a 156" wheel base to maximize access through the narrow residential streets of Tiburon and Belvedere.
A substation is maintained in the unincorporated area of the District at the corner of Trestle Glen and Paradise Drive. A captain and paramedic firefighter cross-staff the paramedic ambulance and a 1999 Pierce type-I fire engine. The station was built in 1960 with two bays housing an engine and water tender for use of the Volunteer Firemen. Living quarters and a small office were added in 1962 to accommodate career firefighters assigned to the station. The 3,200 sq. ft. building underwent renovation and seismic upgrading in 1999
