SHARED VISION THROUGH INCLUSIVE, MULTI-BENEFIT REGIONAL PLANNING
Engage with Regional Partners to Inform High Quality Planning and Implementation
Kneeland Fire Protection District (KFPD) is a 100% volunteer-run, independent, special district. We have been a Firewise community (since 2015); actively implementing education and fuels reduction projects. The KFPD encompasses 25,000 acres but Kneeland has historically responded to a “Goodwill Response Area” that is more than twice as large as the District itself. Long standing funds previously secured to support our out-of-district response will no longer be available as of July, 2023. The KFPD is seeking to annex this Goodwill Response Area and establish a Special Tax that would fund our continued wildland fire and emergency response and expand our Firewise activities into that area.
