Citygate Associates presented to Big Bear Fire Protection District board in February

Citygate Associates delivered a presentation to the Big Bear Fire Protection District board on February 6, 2026, according to the district's board agenda materials^[1]. Citygate is a California-based public safety consulting firm that frequently conducts operational and staffing studies for fire agencies.

The substance of the presentation — including any findings, recommendations, or areas of concern — is not known from the available materials, which consist only of a filename reference in the agenda. The actual slide deck and any board discussion of the report were not available at the time of publication.

What Citygate's review covered, and whether the district's board plans any formal response or policy changes based on the findings, remains unclear. Residents interested in the details can request the presentation directly from the Big Bear Fire Protection District or attend a future board meeting, where agenda packets are typically posted to the district's website ahead of each session.
