What is My Fire Protection District?

Use the map to the right to locate where you live. Knowing your fire protection district can be super useful for information on all things fire.

Your fire protection district determines:

Who responds when you call 911
How quickly crews arrive
private land pile burning rules and regulations
Evacuation coordination, local evacuation alerts, zones, and re-entry procedures.

If you live near a boundary line, a different district may respond than you expect.
