The fire district provides around the clock emergency services to our constituents. The Fire Chief is responsible for the overall administration of the CCFRPD along with a five-member board of directors. The annual estimated budget for 2006-2007 is approximately $427,000.00. The fire district is staffed by trained fire protection personnel and is organized into four major elements, Operations/Suppression, Prevention, Training and Safety.

CCFRPD is a “combination-paid/volunteer” fire protection district and currently staffed with four paid firefighters, a paid fire chief, and a part-time administrative assistant, one volunteer company officer and sixteen volunteer firefighters/emergency medical services personnel, one cadet/explorer. Firefighters are expected to perform at the Fire Fighter-I/II level, Hazardous Materials (Operations Level) and meet CICCS Firefighter (Type-II) level as a minimum. Firefighters respond to a variety of different incidents, to include structural fire and wild land fire operations, rescue operations, hazardous materials incidents, and emergency medical services. All emergency operations are managed utilizing NFPA 1561 Incident Management System.
