About fire protection in Lamont
Lamont was founded in 1923 and has remained an unincorporated community ever since — while neighboring Arvin incorporated as a city in 1960, Lamont is still governed directly by Kern County. Like much of south Kern County, Lamont saw a wave of Dust Bowl-era migration in the 1930s–1950s, and it sits right next to Weedpatch, home to the historic federal migrant labor camp that inspired John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath."
Today, Lamont's economy is anchored by large-scale agriculture — Grimmway Farms, the world's largest grower, producer, and shipper of carrots, operates in and around Lamont. Lamont's agricultural economy and Dust Bowl-era history mean fire protection needs here range from residential homes to large packing and cold-storage operations — often on the same street.
