The CCFRPD has an estimated population of 5,000 and covers approximately 200-square miles. We responded to 419 emergencies, including 66 fires and 222 medical calls in 2006. 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.

Nice to see that the guestbook has been fixed. A pox on the house of the hackers that killed the previous guestbook. Bill Schmiett
Test!
Enough of the tests! We are all about to decide if we want to spend out hard earned dollars on THIS fire district!
What do you think?
Speak up!
Hmmm $65 dollars a year is like 17 cents a day or a little bit more than 5 bucks a month. Not only that, it's less than all the other districts in the county that have a parcel fee. What's the alternative? We could go back to the all volunteer system. At that point, I'm moving to someplace where we have adequate fire and medical response.
Why do you have 5 fire stations and pay your full time personnel so little? It seems that you should eliminate costs of other stations and get on board with some parity to attract better people. 48K a year for a fire chief? An EMT working for an ambulance company makes that! Entry level people at in-n-out make 40k! Better pay=better people=lower insurance=economic gain!
Hello Central Calaveras Fire!! Just a quick question, why don't you do more things in the community? I voted for the tax and appreciate all you do but I would love it if you held events in the community like you used to do in Glencoe. Thanks again for being there and happy holidays!!
CCFPD;
As a retired East Coast Battalion Chief, I understand how difficult it is to provide a community with all hazard protection with a minimum budget. Your department demonstrates what professionalism and dedication is all about. Keep up the good work.
