THIRTY YEARS IN THE MAKING: A NEW HOME FOR MUIR BEACH FIRe
After thirty years of planning, fundraising, and persistence, construction has finally begun on our new firehouse.
For the first time in our history, all of our vehicles and equipment will be housed in a clean, dry building with heat and plumbing — a practical, durable space designed to serve this community for decades to come.
For years, we’ve operated out of a leaking 19th-century barn shared with rats, fleas, and raccoons. It’s been part of our story — but it’s time for a fresh start.
While we’ll miss our equine neighbors at Ocean Riders and our easy access to the Pelican Inn, this new home will give our firefighters the space to train safely, maintain equipment properly, and respond even more effectively to protect our community and visitors.
This isn’t just a new building. It’s an investment in readiness, safety, and the future.
Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the majestic redwoods, Muir Beach is one of the smallest communities in the Bay Area and, just maybe, one of the most beautiful. Our Fire Department is a dedicated team of volunteers committed to safeguarding our community. Since 1971, the Department has helped keep Muir Beach safe for residents and more than one million visitors who come here every year to experience this enchanting corner of the world.
