Hello, and welcome to the website for Bonny Doon Fire and Rescue!


We are really, really busy fighting the Martin Fire. The fire started in the Bonny Doon Ecological Reserve, an event which has long been a local concern. The Fire Team is adapting long-standing strategic plans to the actual tactical situation as it evolves, and the Auxiliary is giving their all to support us. Fire crews from all over the area and all over the state have been involved, and we thank all of them for their help in protecting our community!

Santa Cruz County Seal CDF Logo Bonny Doon Fire & Rescue is an all-volunteer fire company within the Santa Cruz County Fire Department. Santa Cruz County Fire contracts administrative services from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire).

Located in the Santa Cruz Mountains between the Pacific Coast and the San Lorenzo Valley, six miles north of Santa Cruz, Bonny Doon is a unique community with varied terrain and temperatures that typically range from highs in the upper 90's in the summer to lows in the 20's in the winter. Our community is bounded by Henry Cowell State Park, Gray Whale Ranch and Wilder Ranch, which offer plenty of hiking and mountain biking trails for all to enjoy. There are also some winding, mountainous roads that motorcyclists just love...

Our primary response area includes Santa Cruz County Fire Management Areas 32 and 34, which stretch from lower empire grade (at the west entrance of UCSC) up to the top of Empire Grade. To the East, our coverage extends part way down Jamison Creek, Alba Road and Felton-Empire Grade (to where the spring is). To the west, we handle emergencies down to "the belt-line" on Bonny Doon Road. Beyond those borders,. we often assist other organizations as resources allow.

We respond to Fire, Medical, and other emergencies throughout the area, and assist neighboring fire districts as well. We can often be found on highway one, assisting the Davenport Volunteers (Company 37) with vehicle accidents and cliff rescues. We operate six vehicles including two Fire Engines, a Water Tender, two 4WD Rescue Vehicles, and a Utility Vehicle.
