Fire Protection
Fire protection districts (FPDs) are formed under Sections 13800-13970 of the Health & Safety Code and may provide the following services: fire protection, rescue, emergency medical, hazardous material emergency response and ambulance services. The El Medio FPD, formed in 1925, is the only fire protection district within Butte County and serves a population of approximately 6,000 persons within a geographic area of approximately 1,500 acres (approximately two square miles) of mostly urbanized unincorporated territory immediately south of, and adjacent to, the City of Oroville.
*The District was dissolved in 2023
