Lakeside Fire District Programs
CERT
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is an all-risk, all-hazard training program. This valuable course is designed to help you protect yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your neighborhood in an emergency situation. CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens may initially be on their own and their actions can make a difference.

Safely Surrendered Baby
The Safely Surrendered Baby Law allows parents to drop off their baby to any fire station or hospital emergency room without fear of prosecution.
No Questions Asked, Guaranteed Confidentiality,
7 days a week,
24 hours a day.
The purpose of the Safely Surrender Baby Law is to protect babies from being abandoned by their parents and potentially being hurt or killed. You have seen the televised tragic stories of babies left in dumpsters, alleys, public bathrooms and other places. The parents who committed these acts may have been under severe emotional distress. The mothers may have hidden their pregnancy, fearful of what would happen if their families found out. Because they were afraid and had nowhere to turn for help, they abandoned their infants. Abandoning the child is dangerous, illegal and tragically results in the baby’s death. Because of the Safely Surrendered Baby Law, this tragedy doesn’t ever have to happen in California again!

Smoke Detector Program
In the event of a fire, properly installed and maintained smoke alarms will provide an early warning alarm to your household. This alarm could save your own life and those of your loved ones by providing the chance to escape.
The Lakeside Fire Protection District is an active participant in the County's free Smoke Detector Program. The smoke detectors are donated to the fire district by the Burn Institute. On-duty firefighters will install the smoke detectors. If you are in need of a smoke detector, please contact our administrative office at 619-390-2350 and ask for your free smoke detector. And remember, "Smoke Detectors Save Lives"
