The Blue Lake Fire Department is comprised of two entities:
First being the Blue Lake Fire Protection District this portion has a Board of Fire Commissioners that is elected by the residents of the fire district and is the governing body of the fire district. We are funded by property taxes and we also have a property benefit assessment fee. The second is the Volunteer Fire Department this is made up with members of the community that volunteer their time to train and respond to emergencies when needed. The volunteers are funded by donations and an annual raffle.

In 2006 with support from the Blue Lake Rancheria the Fire District hired its first full time Fire Chief the Fire Chief works under the supervision of the Board of Fire Commissioners and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Fire District and the Volunteer Fire Department.
