Four Plumas Fire Districts Form Local Emergency Services Study Group
Organized to evaluate if opportunities exist to create a collaborative approach for strengthening and improving fire and emergency response services in the eastern portion of Plumas County.
Who We Are
In 2019, six (6) adjacent fire and emergency services districts located in eastern Plumas County formed the ‘Local Emergency Services Study Group.’ These six districts launched an effort to evaluate if opportunities exist to create a collaborative approach for strengthening and improving fire and emergencies services in the eastern portion of Plumas County.
The districts currently represented are:
-
Beckwourth Fire Protection District
-
City of Portola
-
Gold Mountain Community Services District
-
Sierra Valley Fire Protection District
Notes:
May 2021 : C Road Community Services District withdrew from the Study Group
Oct 2021: Eastern Plumas Rural Fire Protection District withdrew from the Study Group
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
Early meetings led to an agreement that there was sufficient interest in an organized study of greater collaboration among the districts. In order to move forward, the board of each district considered an engagement agreement in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). As prescribed in the MOU, its purpose is, “…to establish and participate in a framework for cooperative and collaborative action to explore ways to strengthen and improve fire and emergency services throughout their service boundaries by reorganizing how those services are provided.” In January 2020, all participating agencies officially adopted the MOU and each agency appointed two representatives to the group.
