Bonny Doon Fire & Rescue
We are an all-volunteer first-responder unit of the Santa Cruz County Fire Department. We respond along with the CalFire engine crew from the Fall Creek Station on Empire Grade to emergencies in the Bonny Doon area. These include medical emergencies, motor vehicle accidents, injured hikers, mountain bikers or horseback riders, as well as both structure and wildland fires.
We operate five vehicles (two fire engines, a water tender, a 4WD rescue squad, and a 4WD utility truck) and are equipped to handle vehicle extrications and cliff rescues down to Highway One, and to assist the Davenport Volunteers of Company 37. In addition to receiving training in firefighting and rescue scenarios, all our volunteers are Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs) or Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). We also carry medical bags and equipment in own personal vehicles so we can quickly respond to incidents near us without a fire engine.
Being an all-volunteer fire company, our firefighters do not get paid a regular salary. However, this does not mean we are any less professional! Every one of our firefighter and medical staff undergoes the same extensive training as paid firefighters.
We are actively looking to recruit more community members to be a part of our Fire Team! County fire provides all the training, personal saftey equipment, and medical response bags to our volunteers free of charge. There is a place for you with Bonny Doon Fire, visit our team page or join us at the fire station during trainig to find out more.

UnPancake Breakfast
Sunday, May 21 2017 will be this years annual UnPancake Breakfast to benefit the Bonny Doon Fire Team. Please contact Stephanie Jessen at jessenstph@aol.com or 426-9408 if you can help out by volunteering or with other resources. It’s also a great time to see your neighbors and have someone else do the cooking! Bring the whole family to this fun social event.
We are especially interested in talking with you about volunteer opportunities. Adequate fire and medical response in our rural area depends on a robust and fully staffed volunteer fire department. While most calls can be handled by a single engine company, many calls require more responders to be safely and effectively handled. With the lower density that we love in Bonny Doon comes less tax revenue, and we simply need more volunteers to get the job done. Let’s talk about this at the breakfast.
