The story of major fires and significant incidents in Marin County over the years, often requiring mutual aid from multiple fire departments. They are separated into structure, wildland, and wildland-urban interface fires - see menus. The list is incomplete and is growing over time.
A huge fire on 4th St. in San Rafael in 1957 required mutual aid from around the County, the military, and San Francisco. Photo courtesy Robert Marcucci.
