San Diego Fire-Rescue Station 18 serves Normal Heights, Kensington, and University Heights within the 92116 ZIP. The station handles fire, medical, and rescue emergencies for the neighborhood. For emergencies, dial 911. For non-emergency fire department inquiries, residents can call the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department's administrative line.
The station's coverage area includes the Adams Avenue corridor, the residential streets between I-15 and I-805, and the canyon areas along the mesa edges where brush fire risk increases during dry season. San Diego Fire-Rescue publishes seasonal brush management guidelines for properties near canyon land — a relevant concern for homes on the south side of Normal Heights overlooking Mission Valley.

The Community & Civic parent page lists all public safety and community resources in the area, and North Park and Hillcrest fall under the same Mid-City Division for cross-neighborhood coordination.
