BUTTE COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT
No. ~ 1-149
WHEREAS, November 10, 1991, marks the 60th anniversary
of the establishment of the Butte County Fire Department; and
WHEREAS, November 10, 1991, also marks the 50th
anniversary of the Cooperative Fire Protection Agreement wherein
the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has
staffed and managed the Butte County Fire Department; and
WHEREAS, the Butte County Fire Department has grown from
a small rural organization with several personnel to the largest
fire department north of Sacramento with over 700 career and
volunteer firefighters; and
WHEREAS, the Butte County Fire Department has improved
its citizen service level to include not only firefighting but
first responder emergency medical services, hazardous materials
emergency response and fire prevention programs; and
WHEREAS, the Butte County Fire Department and the
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection have been
able to provide fire services at a very reasonable cost by sharing
rather than duplicating personnel and equipment, and by integrating
the Biggs and Gridley City Fire Departments into department
operations.

Board of Supervisors does herewith express its sincere gratitude
and highly commend our career and volunteer firefighters who risk
