MUIR BEACH VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT

MUIR BEACH FIRE DEPARTMENT & CREW

THE DEPARTMENT

Muir Beach firefighters are a diverse group of volunteers from a wide range of backgrounds and vocations. They embody the essence of what makes Muir Beach great; the spirit of community, the willingness to step up and volunteer, and the desire to help others with no expectation for reward other than knowing that their actions make a difference.

Training closely with Marin County Firefighters at the Throckmorton station, Muir Beach Firefighters are required, at a minimum, to hold and maintain an E.M.R (Emergency Medical Responder) and State Volunteer Firefighter certificate.

Included within this dedicated group of volunteers are E.M.T.s (Emergency Medical Technician) and a Physician. The result is a highly skilled group of unpaid experts who respond to a full range of emergency situations, including:

  • Structure, vehicle and wildland fires
  • Vehicle accidents
  • Medical emergencies
  • Beach and trail rescue
  • Managing helicopter landing zones
  • Flood rescue
  • Landslides
  • Downed trees and power lines

Giving Through Youth Video
The West Marin Fund’s Giving Through Youth program encourages community service and philanthropy among young people by engaging them in decision-making on the distribution of grant dollars.

Pt. Reyes teen, Diego Chavarria, chose the Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department to receive a grant because he appreciates how the Muir Beach firefighters help people through volunteering their time and expertise. Watch the video about Diego’s visit to meet the firefighters who received his grant.
