History of Fairview Fire Protection District
The Fairview Fire Protection District has a long and proud history since being formed in 1938.
The Fairview Fire Protection District (the “District”) is an independent special fire district in Alameda County; organized under the provisions of the California Health and Safety Code. The District’s goal is to provide fire protection service to its residents. Such services include fire prevention through code enforcement and education, as well as fire suppression. The District also provides emergency medical services at the Advanced Life Support (Paramedic) level.
