Fire Department
How can I get Public Records?
You may make a request on the City of Chico’s Next
Request Portal via the City Clerk’s Office.
Upon receipt of a records request, the City Clerk’s Office will
notify Chico Fire Administration who will prepare the copy within
10 days, or notify you of a delay. The fees for reports vary
based on the quantity of reports requested and the type of
information.

The City of Chico, located where the Northern Sacramento Valley
meets the foothills of the Southern Cascade mountains, is not
unfamiliar with catastrophic wildfire. The deadly and destructive
Camp Fire in 2018 nearly burned into city limits, and many other
large fires have burned in the foothills east of town in the
past. Recent urban conflagrations including the 2017 Tubbs Fire
and 2021 Marshall fire have illuminated the potential for
high-consequence wildfire events to occur in densely-built urban
landscapes.
History of Chico Fire
Chico Fire Department has a long history serving the Chico community, dating back to the 1800’s and Chico’s incorporation.
