About Us
Lompoc Fire Department
Through a constant staffing model, the LFD staffs two fire engines, one rescue unit and a battalion chief 24/7. As part of the California Master Mutual Aid Plan, the LFD responds fire engines and individual resources to wildland fires and natural disasters year-round.
The department averages over 4,600 responses a year, making it one of the busiest fire departments per-capita in Santa Barbara County.
Lompoc Fire Foundation
The Lompoc Fire Foundation is a non-profit public charity that supports the mission of the Lompoc Firefighters in protecting life and property. We do this by providing essential equipment, training, and public outreach programs to supplement City resources.
The Lompoc Fire Department (LFD) is funded through the City of Lompoc’s General Fund. This means that the majority of revenue the City brings in from all sources (taxes, wild fire reimbursement, traffic tickets) goes into a single pot to be spread throughout the City. When you donate to the Foundation, 100% of your donation contributes to helping save lives.
The Foundation was established in 2021 to help supplement the Lompoc Firefighters with much needed funding through generous doners and fundraising. Unlike tax money, the donations received by the Foundation go directly to helping your firefighters.
The Lompoc Fire Foundation is a California Non-Profit Corporation and registered as a 501(c)3 public charity. Federal Tax ID: 87-1544808
