The Ramona Fire Department enforces local and county fire
ordinances. We utilize Fire Prevention Services to inspect parcels and site
property owners who are out of compliance with local ordinances. Fire Prevention
Services is under the direct supervision of the Ramona Fire Marshal. The Fire
Marshal personally inspects every parcel which is slated for violation
enforcement. Violation enforcement will not occur without proper documentation
and the Fire Marshal's approval.
Questions concerning weed abatement can be directed to the Fire
Department Secretary at (760) 788-2250 Monday thru Friday 8am-4pm.
If you have a complaint regarding hazardous weeds or if you may have received a
violation notice, you may contact Fire Prevention Services at (760)
839-8394. For additional assistance or information, please go their website at
http://www.fireprevention.net/.
For additional information about the costs for their services, under the Ramona

Have a fire safe year!
