The Boulder Creek Volunteer Fire Department was formed in 1892 and the Boulder Creek Fire Protection District established in 1923. The District is guided by a five-person Board of Directors who have staggered four-year terms. The District covers 21 square miles of mountainous terrain and serves approximately 15,000 citizens.

They train 3-4 hours weekly, 48 weeks out of the year, and participated in additional outside training. [Read More]
