About Us

                                   "Established in 1927"

Dunnigan is a 112-square-mile area in Yolo County. It lies approximately 40 miles north of Sacramento. It has over 1,400 permanent residents and welcomes more than 25,000 visitors annually.

The Dunnigan Fire Protection District is a combination fire department with both paid and volunteer firefighters. We provide “All Hazards Response,” which includes (but is not limited to): fires of all types, emergency medical services, vehicle accidents, public assistance, emergency standby services, and hazardous materials response – at the first responder level.

The department is comprised of 22 dedicated firefighters, which include a fire chief, an assistant fire chief, one fire captain, three Lieutenants, three Fire Apparatus Engineers, and nineteen highly trained firefighters.  Approximately 25 personnel are trained to the level of Emergency Medical Technician or higher, with some currently enrolled in paramedic school.  We operate out of one station, Station 12. Out of that station, we provide 24-hour staffing with approximately three firefighters on duty at any given time, 365 days a year.
