About Us
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, commonly known as CAL FIRE, is a state agency responsible for fire protection and stewardship of over 31 million acres of California's privately-owned wildlands. The department also provides varied emergency services in 36 of the state's 58 counties via contracts with local governments.
CAL FIRE is committed to the protection of natural resources and the environment. The department actively engages in sustainable forestry practices, aiming to maintain healthy forests that can withstand and recover from wildfires. These practices include controlled burns, reforestation, and the management of forest pests and diseases.
In terms of sustainability, CAL FIRE works towards reducing its carbon footprint by promoting the use of renewable energy sources and implementing energy-efficient practices in its operations. The department also collaborates with various environmental organizations to enhance its sustainability efforts.
However, detailed ESG reports or specific sustainability certifications for CAL FIRE are not readily available. The department's sustainability initiatives are primarily focused on forest management and fire prevention, which inherently contribute to environmental conservation and sustainability.
