It is a career department delivering ALS first response with a licensed paramedic on an engine 24/7, structure and wildland suppression, hazardous materials response along the I-80 and SR-29 freight corridor, and surge ambulance transport through its AMR partnership.
American Canyon Fire Protection District began in 1955 when the citizens of Napa Junction voted to permanently establish a fire district, and was formally founded as a district in 1957.
