When are Board of Directors meetings held?
Board meetings are open to the public and provide an opportunity to learn about district operations, finances, and future planning. Meetings dates, agendas, and minutes are available on our Transparency page.
Are you available 24hours a day, 7 days a week?
The district provides emergency response services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, the district currently relies heavily on dedicated volunteer firefighters and EMTs to respond from home, work, or the station when emergencies occur. Because volunteers cannot be required to staff the station around the clock, response times may occasionally be extended, and neighboring mutual aid agencies may assist or arrive first depending on location and personnel availability. To better serve our growing community, the district is actively exploring funding opportunities to provide daytime staffing seven days a week and enhance response capabilities.
How can I contact you quickly?
If you are experiencing an emergency or believe there may be an emergency, call 911 immediately. Even if you are unsure whether the situation is an emergency, it is always better to call 911 and let trained dispatchers determine the appropriate response.
For non-emergency matters, you may contact the Petyon Fire Protection District office during normal business hours. Please be aware that our station is not staffed 24 hours a day, and there may not always be personnel available to answer the station phone. Calling 911 is the fastest and most reliable way to request emergency assistance.
