The Mission of the North County Fire Protection District is to Safeguard the Health and Welfare of the Community and to Mitigate the Effects of Hazards to Life, Property and the Environment. The district currently has 6 fire stations, 5 of which are staffed with full paid personnel supplemented by reserve Fire Fighters and one of which are all volunteer. The district's primary service area is approximately 90 square miles with an estimated population of 45,000 people. The department also provides emergency medical services for 40 additional square miles outside the primary service area. There are 60 full time emergency services personnel, 14 support personnel, 20 reserve firefighters and 33 volunteer firefighters. The district is made up of 2 divisions, Fallbrook and Rainbow. The North County fire Protection District Board is the governing body for both divisions. The Rainbow Divisions has a local advisory board who coordinates the operational activities and make recommendations to the North county Fire Protection District Board. The North County Fire Protection board consists of 5 members elected at large. They serve 4 year staggered terms which begin in December. The communities of Fallbrook, Rainbow and Bonsall are considered to be one of the most desirable places to live in Southern California. The current population growth and district expansion is presenting many new challenges and opportunities for the district.
