Facilities
Central Marin Fire Department operates four fire stations across Larkspur, Corte Madera, and Greenbrae. Each station plays a critical role in providing fire protection, emergency medical response, and all-hazard readiness for our communities. A recent assessment and master planning process has identified priorities for renovation, relocation, or replacement of aging facilities to meet modern standards of safety, accessibility, and performance.
