Delano is the second-largest city in Kern County, anchoring the south end of the county along Highway 99. Agriculture, food processing, residential, and a growing commercial base all need fire protection. Delano's role as the birthplace of the modern farmworker labor movement also means its downtown mixes historic buildings with newer commercial development. Our contractor network serves Delano and surrounding south-Kern communities.

About fire protection in Delano
Delano was founded in 1869 as the southern terminus of the Southern Pacific Railroad, named for Columbus Delano, then U.S. Secretary of the Interior. It's best known nationally as the site of the 1965–1970 Delano grape strike, where Filipino farmworkers led by Larry Itliong and Mexican-American farmworkers led by Cesar Chavez joined forces to form the United Farm Workers — a merger that led directly to the 1975 California Agricultural Labor Relations Act, the first law in the country giving farmworkers collective bargaining rights. That history is still a source of civic identity in Delano today, marked by the annual Philippine Weekend festival celebrating the Filipino farmworkers who first walked off the fields.
Agriculture remains Delano's backbone — the city is a major center for table grapes, with employers like Wonderful Citrus, Columbine Vineyards, and Munger Farms anchoring the local economy. Delano's agricultural and labor history is part of why fire protection needs here span such a wide range — from historic downtown buildings to modern packing and cold-storage facilities along Highway 99.
