Seaside Fire Department
Launches Performance Dashboard
Since 1954 the Seaside Fire Department has been responding to emergencies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
This Performance Dashboard was created as a tool to showcase our commitment to the community to be transparent and to ensure that we continue to meet their expectations. It serves as a way for the community to visualize how we are measuring up against the performance goals that we have established.

Alert Monterey County Program
Alert Monterey County uses the 911 database to call and deliver a recorded message to all landline phone numbers in a specific geographic area within a City and/or the County. Please visit the Alert Monterey County website to register online.
When to Dial 911
Note: Dial 911 in the event of a life threatening emergency.
Teach Children About 911
Please teach your children to dial 911 - especially if you are unable to dial it yourself at some point. It is a good idea to teach young children how to use 911 and the difference between an emergency (mom / dad has fallen and can’t get up, or mom / dad will not wake up) and a non-emergency (what time is it?).
Non-Emergency
Do not dial 911 for non-emergency situations. If you use 911 to ask, for example, when power may be returned during an outage, you may be tying up the line and preventing emergency calls from coming in.
