Firebaugh is a city in Fresno County, California, United States. Inside the town, a small commercial district includes the ubiquitous California Central Valley water tank painted with the city's name. California State Route 33 (SR33) runs through downtown just west of center. The San Joaquin Valley Railroad, West Side Subdivision, passes through downtown.

This small community is located northwest of Fresno off Highway 33. Incorporated in 1914, Firebaugh has grown from ferry crossing to a small agriculture based city. Before the railroad, the San Joaquin River was the major thoroughfare to upstream communities. The ferry, located in Firebaugh, was the major crossing for prospectors heading for gold country. Ferries were the only way to cross the river until the late 1800's when the first bridges were built. The San Joaquin River played a major role in the settling of the valley and Firebaugh is one of the oldest historical towns on the Westside.
