AM 1610

AM 1610 is a low powered AM Radio station owned and operated by the Montecito Fire Protection District. The station broadcasts fire prevention and disaster preparedness information on a continuous loop. However, during emergencies, Montecito Fire will broadcast evacuation and other critical information as it becomes available.

It is important to understand that most home stereo systems do not pick up AM broadcasts - especially those coming from a low power station. To hear these broadcasts, it is best to tune in on a battery powered portable radio or your car radio.

Local Media Outlets

Local Media, including TV, Radio and Print have provided email and text messaging contact information to Montecito Fire and are notified as soon as possible on all emergency events. The media also has contact information for Montecito Fire Public Information Officers.

For assistance or information relating to any of our notification methods, please contact Christina Favuzzi at:  [email protected] or call 805-969-7762.
