We ask our local leaders, specifically the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors, to take immediate action to expedite the process, to staff
Oak Shores-Lake Nacimiento with firefighters, available to respond to emergencies. This includes asking that the County delivers appropriate additional funding to the San Luis Obispo County Fire Department. The goal is to establish a permanent fire station with permanent firefighter staff adjacent to or within the oak shores community. The aforementioned firefighters can also assist in additional emergencies with all the adjoining communities of Lake Nacimiento.
Right now, the Oak Shores and greater North Shore community does not have firefighters to respond when emergencies happen. All fire, rescue, and medical calls are left to SLO County Fire Station 33 in Heritage Ranch, and that means a minimum response time of 30 minutes. If Station 33’s resources are already committed to another incident or otherwise unavailable, the response time to Oak Shores may increase to an hour.
That kind of delay leaves families, homes, and lives at risk. When there is a fire, a rescue, or a medical emergency, every minute matters.
This is a basic public safety and liability need. Oak Shores and the greater Lake Nacimiento community deserve protection that is close by and ready when it is needed.

The greatest improvement would be having emergency medical services and fire support as needed. The community is at risk on a daily basis due to the distance and availability of other services. It’s really completely unsafe and alarming that is allowed, based on the fact, that we all pay taxes that cover these safety measures.
With fire being such a threat to an area like oak shores, it’s become imperative that emergency fire services are close at hand. Many tax paying folks in the area have much to lose should insurance companies flinch if a fire gets out of control. Situations like the palisades and paradise can and should be avoided! Don’t wait for disaster to strike. Part of being good leaders is looking forward to any potential catastrophe… and preparing for it! The next natural and logical step is to prepare.
A staffed staion is far overdue. The community and surrounding areas continue to grow and require better emergency response.
All summer I scan the sky for smoke and sniff the air for the smell of smoke. Stressful to have to live always worried about fires. Now fire season starts earlier and lasts longer. If Oak Shores had a Fire Station I would feel much safer.
Keep our community safe
We are in a critical need for a fire station in North SLO County. The current response time is well over 35 minutes. There are several elderly retirees here that are unable to get to the hospital in case of an emergency.
We live in Oak Shores surrounded by trees and dry brush…..
