Since the 1950s, our Districts have worked hard to adapt and evolve to meet the challenges of providing a wide spectrum of emergency services.
In an effort to maximize resources, in 2019 a collaborative partnership began between the two Districts and MRFD and SFPD entered into an agreement to share administrative leadership positions. Since then, the partnership has evolved—the two Districts now share a Fire Chief, District Administrator, and administrative support staff, as well as Deputy and Battalion Chiefs that lead and oversee daily operations of both Districts—and has become known as MidStar Fire. This partnership has resulted in significant cost savings amounting to over $430,000 per year for each District, allowing for more “boots on the ground” to respond to calls and protect our Communities 24/7!
Organizationally, we are faced with an enormous task. The combined response area for both Districts cover approximately 165 square miles, serving a population of more than 50,000. A total of 36 firefighter/EMTs provide coverage from three stations, 24 hours a day. During 2023, we received approximately 3,000 calls for emergency services.
As our Districts experience rapid growth in our large diverse service areas, we continually evaluate response times to plan for adequate facility and firefighter/EMT coverage to ensure the public safety of our citizens.
