The California Health and Safety Code, Section 13840, vests the governing authority of fire districts with a legislative body known as a board of directors. There are two qualifications statutorily required of an elected member:
He/she shall be a resident of the district, and
He/she shall be a registered voter of the district.
The District has adopted a comprehensive set of policies and a job description designed to help elected board members effectively function in the decision making process, effectively work as part of the administration/leadership team, stay within the legal bounds of his/her authority, and represent the District’s customers in the appropriate manner.
The District recognizes the value of diversified experiences, backgrounds and expertise provided by individual board members and strives to utilize and incorporate that experience and expertise at every opportunity.
Ebbetts Pass Fire District is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Ebbetts Pass Fire District
has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and
commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are coded to allow individuals with vision and
other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome
feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.
If you need any special assistance or accommodations:

The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best
practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
