The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department has a limited number of sandbags available as a public service in areas that may be prone to urban flooding.

During weather coverage, or if you receive inquiries, you may direct San Diego residents to any of these fire stations and lifeguard stations:

Fire Station 15 – 4711 Voltaire Street in Ocean Beach

Fire Station 20 – 3305 Kemper Street in the Sports Arena area

Fire Station 21 – 750 Grand Avenue in Pacific Beach

There is a limit of 10 sandbags per household or business. Sandbags will only be available when personnel are at the station.  Should they arrive to find the crew is on an emergency call, people may want to purchase sandbags from a retailer that carries them. 

While we are able to provide the sandbags, the fire stations will not have sand available.  People with access to the beach areas will be allowed to use beach sand.
