  Sonoma County Sheriff’s Marine Unit at Bodega Bay
875-3561
The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Marine Unit is responsible for patrolling all of the extensive waterways in Sonoma County. Their mission is boating safety, education, search and rescue, and enforcement of Maritime Law, Federal Law, State Law, and County Ordinances. The personnel assigned to this unit are cross-trained and deputized as United States Customs Agents and Emergency Medical Technicians. The Marine Unit accomplishes this mission through the use of four patrol boats, one of which is located at Bodega Bay.
   
  Sonoma Coast State Beach
Like most north coast beaches, Sonoma Coast is NOT FOR SWIMMING. Strong rip currents, heavy surf and sudden ground swells make even surf play dangerous. A small staff of well-trained lifeguards are usually on duty during the peak season, but with so much coastline to cover they may not be available.
Please be aware that most cellular phone service along the coast is spotty.

It is especially important to keep children back from the highest water-line and never turn your back to the ocean. Many rescues are made each year. Also be careful of the bluffs and rocks. The shale formations are unstable and unsafe for climbing, so stay on the trails and heed warning signs.

California State park lifeguards are open-water lifesaving professionals and trained peace officers with statewide authority. They help operate and manage state park units including coastal beaches, inland lakes, reservoirs, and rivers.

CDF Arson Hotline 1-800-468-4408
The men and women of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF) are dedicated to the fire protection and stewardship of over 31 million acres of California's privately-owned wildlands.

The Department's firefighters, fire engines, and aircraft respond to an average 6,135 wildland fires each year. Those fires burn an average of nearly 194,000 acres annually.

Beyond its wildland fire fighting role, CDF answers the call more than 300,000 times for other emergencies each year. It may very well be a CDF engine and crew that is dispatched to the scene of an auto accident, or to a home where a child has become the victim of a drowning incident. The Department responds to medical aids of all types, hazardous material spills, swiftwater rescues, search and rescue missions, civil disturbances - the list is endless.
