California Task Force 8[]

The San Marcos Fire Department is a member agency of California Task Force 8 (CA-TF8)

History[]

An all-volunteer FPD had been established in the unincorporated area in 1936. When the City of San Marcos incorporated in 1963, the FPD provided services within the City as well as surrounding unincorporated areas. Unincorporated territory within the FPD continued to annex into the City until 1987 when the percentage of FPD constituents, which were also residents of the City of San Marcos, were sufficient to meet State Law requirements for transforming the FPD into a subsidiary district of the City.
