Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Brigade
The Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Brigade (KMVFB) oversees and supports the Kings Mountain Fire Department (KMFD), whose volunteer first responders answer approximately 400 emergency calls each year. KMVFB also manages the Kings Mountain Community Center, fosters civic and social engagement, and leads efforts to maintain Kings Mountain as a Firewise USA–approved community, helping reduce wildfire risk and potentially lower insurance premiums.
Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Department (KMFD)
The Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Department (KMFD), San Mateo County Company 56 (Co56) responds to most public safety emergencies in our local community, located along the mountainous Skyline corridor in an unincorporated area of San Mateo County. The department is staffed by approximately ten volunteers, with one Assistant Chief and one Chief. As the KMFD is an all-risk fire department, the volunteer firefighters are trained for the same emergency services as provided by paid fire departments in the county. These services include medical emergencies, structure fires, wildfires, vehicle fires, rope rescues, trees/wires down in roadways, public assists, and hazardous materials incidents. The KMFD responds to mutual aid requests throughout the county, averaging over 400 total emergency dispatches per year.
Kings Mountain Association Inc.
The Kings Mountain Association is organized for the purpose of protecting, improving and enhancing the community; for organizing projects of benefit to the community; for holding special activities whereby members of the Association may become acquainted with each other and the organizations in the community; and for providing a forum for representation of community positions.
Join us for the annual King’s Mountain Art Fair held over Labor Day Weekend. Walk the redwoods and view juried fine arts and crafts. We give customers the rare opportunity to interact with talented artists and purchase art directly from the individuals who have created it. Proceeds benefit the local volunteer fire brigade and elementary school. If you are a Kings Mountain resident or someone who wants to get involved, please go to the July or August Echo (our local newsletter) to find out about wonderful volunteer opportunities or email kmafsecty@gmail.com.

Kings Mountain Community
We live in one of the Bay Area’s most unique and beautiful communities. From our redwood-laden hillsides, to the community spirit that is evident in all our events and organizations, we believe that living on “the mountain” is truly one of the privileges of our times.
Our lifestyles are enhanced not only by the privacy and bucolic delight afforded by open spaces, but also by the cohesiveness of a community that comes together in times of celebration, times of sorrow or need, and times of local benefit. One of our most important events is the annual Kings Mountain Art Fair, perhaps the only art fair in all of California that is produced entirely by and for the community. This popular event is attended by over 10,000 visitors annually, and is operated through the volunteer efforts of over 400 residents each year.
We hope that this website is of value to you, and that it will help you to meet your neighbors and to become involved with a group of people and organizations who will add significance to your lives and to your “Kings Mountain Experience”!
