Daily emergency response consists of 8 firefighters and one Battalion Chief.

The District’s administration located at 7 Erba Ln. in Scotts Valley is open Monday through Thursday 7am – 4pm, and Friday 8am-12:00 pm, excluding holidays. The Fire District is governed by a board of 5 directors elected to 4 year terms. Registered voters within the District elect fellow constituent candidates to a four year term.
