USAR Task Force 7

The Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District is a member of California USAR Task Force 7 (CA TF-7), one of the eight FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Task Forces in the state.[4] Though originally for earthquake response, the Task Force is also used for general disaster and event response.[5] Along with members of the SMFD, the task force also has members from the Cosumnes Fire Department, Folsom Fire Department, Roseville Fire Department, West Sacramento Fire Department, El Dorado County Fire Protection District and Sacramento Fire Department.[5]

Some of the teams most notable deployments include the Northridge earthquake (1994), Oklahoma City bombing (1995), World Trade Center (2001) and Hurricane Katrina (2005).[5]

Metro Medic Program (MMP)

In 2023, the Single Role Program (SRP) transitioned into the Metro Medic Program (MMP), catering to individuals interested in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) who prefer not to pursue a career in fire suppression as medics.[citation needed]
