THE DEPARTMENT
Windsor Fire Protection District is a combination department
serving 30,000 people in 30 square miles (5 sq miles within the Town
of Windsor and 25 sq miles of surrounding rural, unincorporated
area), responding to 1900 calls per year. The District employs a
fire chief, battalion chief/fire marshal, six fire captains, six
engineer/firefighters, an administrative assistant, and a financial
assistant. Thirty volunteers support the paid suppression staff. The
fleet consists of a 75-foot quint ladder truck, two Type-1 and two
Type-3 engines, two water tenders (one an OES unit), a light rescue,
and two chief officer vehicles and two utilities.
The District recently took delivery of a new Pierce 75-foot quint.
A new, modern, “green” Station 2 is under construction on Windsor
Road, with a projected in-service date of July 2009.
THE TOWN OF WINDSOR
Windsor is a growing primarily residential community of 26,000 in
the beautiful Sonoma County wine country, an hour north of San
Francisco. Windsor is home to a new high school, beautiful parks, an
extensive bike and hiking trail system. Buildings with historic
facades—housing restaurants and shops— line the downtown streets,
surrounding Windsor’s 4-acre Town Green, home to farmers markets,
concerts, and many other community events. The ocean, the redwoods,
and many wineries are within a short drive. For more information, go
