At present, Windsor Fire has no entry level firefighter positions
available; the lowest level position is engineer/firefighter.
Windsor Fire Protection District is accepting applications for
volunteer firefighters.
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, three fire captains, three
engineer/firefighters, an administrative assistant, and a financial
assistant. Thirty volunteers support the paid suppression staff. The
fleet consists of two Type-1 and two Type-3 engines, two water
tenders (one an OES unit), a light rescue, and two chief officer
vehicles.
As a result of the success of a recent tax initiative, the
District will be doubling its suppression staff by May 2007, hiring
a new battalion chief (2007), building a new fire station (Spring
2008) and purchasing a “quint” (end of 2007), the latter two in
partnership with the Town of Windsor.
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. New 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
