The Kneeland Volunteer Fire Department was formed for the purpose of providing fire
protection, emergency medical-aid and first responder response as well as mutual aid
response.
Although the District is responsible for structural fire protection, the California Department of
Forestry (CAL-FIRE) retains the responsibility for grass and forest fires within the boundaries
of the Kneeland Fire District. Kneeland Fire responds to these incidents as a mutual-aid first
responder. The District has formal mutual aid agreements with Humboldt Fire District,
Cal-Fire and Arcata Fire Districts.
The Kneeland Fire Protection District provides a range of structural and wildland fire
protection as well as medical response services. Presently, the District dispatches from
several apparatus storage locations and is in the process of constructing a community fire
station in the northern part of the District at 6201 Greenwood Heights Drive, in the Kneeland
community.
Ten volunteer fire fighters respond to an average of twenty five to thirty calls per year,
including structure fires, vehicle accidents, wild land fires and storm events. District fire
apparatus and volunteer fire fighters are dispatched through the Humboldt Fire Net Dispatch
Cooperative located in Fortuna via pagers and electronic "text". All volunteers carry call
pagers.
The District response area is approximately forty-two square miles, of which the majority lies
inside District boundaries. The "Out of District" response area consists of buffer zones
surrounding the community of Kneeland. The response time within the response area varies
from five to twenty minutes with-in the district and as much as thirty minutes in outlying areas.
