Fire protection districts are formed for the provision of fire prevention services, fire suppression, emergency medical services and the protection of life and property in the unincorporated areas of the county. Administrative authority for the district results from decisions made by a three-member board of elected fire commissioners.

The Board of Commissioners has the authority to hire and appoint employees as well as administer all aspects of the district. The Board is required hold regular monthly meetings.

Fire protection districts levy regular property taxes to provide services to the public. Additionally, with voter approval, the Board may issue bonds and make excess levies for specific purposes.

The voters elect Commissioners to staggered six-year terms. The non-partisan commissioners receive no regular salary, but may choose to receive nominal compensation for attending meetings.

All voters in the County will vote for the position in the General Election.
