The Bell Canyon Volunteer Wildland Fire Department (BCVWFD) was formed in October 2020 in response to our collective experience in the Woolsey Fire, which destroyed dozens of homes in Bell Canyon and damaged many more. The BCVWFD has a primary mission to protect Bell Canyon residents and property by supporting and augmenting local fire agencies. Members are trained wildland firefighters certified by the California Office of the State Fire Marshal/State Fire Training program. The BCVWFD is NOT a replacement for 911 emergency resources, but offers specific, limited emergency/medical services, including search and rescue.

 
BCVWFD official emergency phone number:

(818) 699-1191

If you are calling about an emergency, please call 911 first. The BCVWFD number is for additional support for emergencies only--fire, medical, search and rescue, rattlesnakes, flood and other emergencies--and is not a replacement for 911.
To aid residents with fire prevention, we're available to advise and assist with pool fire pump installation. Additionally, we will remove snakes (rattlesnakes and other) for relocation.
The BCVWFD is a 501(c)(3). We rely on community supported, tax deductible donations to operate.
