Pacific Grove’s volunteer fire department was founded in 1885—four years before the city incorporated. In 2008, the department merged with the City of Monterey’s fire department, creating a 67-person force with enhanced operational capability and depth of resources. Pacific Grove's Station #4 protects a geographical area of 2.5 square miles with a full-time population of 15,500 residents. Station #4 responds to an average of 1450 calls a year.
