Every decision we make is shaped by a clear sense of purpose. *

The Whitethorn FPD was formed in 1967 for the purpose of providing fire protection, rescue, and emergency medical services and any other services relating to the protection of lives and property pursuant to the Fire Protection District Law of 1987 (Division 12, Part 2.7 of the California Health and Safety Code, Sections 13800-13970), which supersedes prior fire protection district laws. The Whitethorn FPD is a dependent special district that is governed by the County Board of Supervisors; however, the Board of Supervisors appoints a five member Board of Commissioners to supervise the business of the District. The term of office of Fire Commissioners is at the pleasure of the Board of Supervisors.
