Welcome to the San Diego Operational Area North Zone Website. The North Zone is identified in Annex B of the San Diego County Operational Area Emergency Plan and encompasses the following fire and emergency services jurisdictions: Camp Pendleton Fire Department, Carlsbad Fire Department, Deer Springs Fire Protection District, Encinitas Fire Department, Elfin Forest/Harmony, Grove Fire Department, Escondido Fire Department , De Luz Volunteer Fire Department, Del Mar Fire Department, North County Fire Protection District, Oceanside Fire Department, San Marcos Fire Department, San Onofre Fire Department, Solana Beach Fire Department, Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, and Vista Fire Department. We know that no single community or agency has the ability or resources sufficient to cope will any all emergencies for which potential exists. The purpose of this organization is to meet the anticipated needs of all the local agencies within the North Zone through cooperative planning, training, preparation, and mobilization. The net impact to our communities is a level of effectiveness that is truly greater than the sum of the parts. In short, working together we will minimize the loss of life, health, property, and environment by ensuring timely and coordinated firefighting and search and rescue efforts. The North Zone Fire Chiefs meet monthly to discuss issues and formulate North Zone Policy that is in the best collective interest of all member departments. The North Zone Operational Chiefs and Training Officers also meet monthly to develop and implement standard operational and tactical guidelines as well as standard training programs. The North Zone Coordinator is a Fire Chief elected by his peers to serve as the point of contact with the Office of Emergency Services San Diego Area Coordinator and to facilitate the cooperative activities of the Zone departments. The current North Zone Coordinator is North County Fire Protection District Chief Bill Metcalf. What's New: The latest revision to EOM 203.00 (3-12-08) has been posted on the EOM page.
