BK Technologies Corporation announced that it has received a purchased order in the amount of $500,000 from one of its resellers, for the Company's BKR 5000 portable communications technology. The order comes from the Santa Barbara County Fire Department in California as part of the department's lifecycle replacement program. The Santa Barbara County Fire District is comprised of 16 fire stations, three battalions (South, Central and North), and five Divisions, which include Fire Prevention and Emergency Medical Services.

The district encompasses nearly 2,400 square miles and includes roughly half the population of the County. The department works closely with neighboring cities, fire districts, the U.S. Forest Service and Cal Fire by giving and receiving mutual aid as requested and responds to more than 15,000 incidents each year. The Santa Barbara County Fire District also protects the State Responsibility Areas (SRA) within the County under contract with Cal Fire.

In its role as the County Fire Warden, the agency aids in enforcing all laws, ordinances and any rules or regulations adopted by the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection and State Fire Marshal relating to fires or to fire prevention and protection.
