Emergency Assistance

The Beale AFB Command Post can locate chaplains, commanders or First Sergeants 24 hours a day. If you have an after-hours emergency, contact the Command Post at 530-634-5700. In most California cities and on-base emergencies for fire, medical, or personal safety call 911. If a 911 call is made from a cell phone on Beale AFB, it will be routed to the California Highway Patrol's Call Center. Ask them to patch you through to Beale AFB.  The Base Defense Operations Center will immediately connect you with the proper agency to respond to your emergency.

Individuals experiencing in-transit emergencies should contact their gaining Commander, First Sergeant or the local American Red Cross.
