Santa Cruz County Lists Davenport Station 37 and Nearby Big Creek Station 33 for North Coast Fire Response

DAVENPORT, Calif. — Santa Cruz County Fire maintains local emergency-response facilities along the North Coast, including a station in Davenport. Its official station directory lists Davenport Station 37 at 75 Marine View Avenue and Big Creek Station 33 at 240 Swanton Road.

Why list both facilities?

Emergency response in rural North Coast communities can involve county fire, CAL FIRE and volunteer resources operating across separate local areas. The county’s public directory identifies Davenport as a volunteer-associated station and Big Creek as a county fire/CAL FIRE location. The exact unit sent to any incident depends on dispatch, personnel and conditions, not simply which station appears closest on a map.

How can residents ask questions?

Santa Cruz County Fire lists 831-457-2466 for Davenport Station 37 and 831-426-1664 for Big Creek Station 33. These are station contacts, not substitutes for emergency dispatch. For an active fire, serious collision or life-threatening medical situation, call 911.

Preparation for rural travel

Households should review official wildfire alerts, evacuation routes and severe-weather forecasts. Some North Coast roads are narrow and vulnerable to debris or closure after storms. The county directory does not guarantee a response time or indicate that every listed station is open for casual public visits.
