The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District provides fire protection and emergency medical services for cities of Alamo, Blackhawk, Danville, Diablo and San Ramon as well as southern areas of the Morgan Territory in California, USA.[4] In all, the district is responsible for 155 square miles (400 km2) with a popular of approximately 169,900.[4]
History
The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District was first started in 1912, when it was decided that a volunteer fire department needed to be organized to provide services to the community.[5] This first department became known as the Danville Farm Defense Fire District. In 1921, after a state law was passed allowing the organization of special fire districts, the district was renamed the Danville Fire Protection District and expanded to cover nearly 50 square miles (130 km2).[5]
In 1963, Contra Costa County reorganized its East County Fire Protection District into the San Ramon Fire Protection District, an independent district. This led to the Local Agency Formation Commission consolidating the two districts into one on July 1, 1980.[5]
USAR Task Force 4
The district is part of Urban Search and Rescue California Task Force 4 (CA-TF4) which is one of eight FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Task Forces in California.[6] The task force, which is based in Oakland, is sponsored by the Oakland Fire Department.[7]
Stations and apparatus
The district has 10 stations spread across the 155 square miles (400 km2) of responsible area.[8]
