CDF Gets A New Name
California Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection, Director Ruben Grijalva announced yesterday a new name for
CDF…CAL FIRE. Assembly Bill
1423 went into effect January 1, 2007 allowing the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection to be referred to as CAL FIRE where appropriate.
"The formal name of our department hasn't changed," said Director
Grijalva. "Over the last
100 years our mission has become increasingly complex and the length of our
full department name reflects that. The use of CAL FIRE incorporates all aspects of our department -- Fire Protection, Resource
Management, and the Office of the State Fire Marshal.”
