The El Dorado Hills County Water District was formed in July 1960 to provide water and sewer services to the community of El Dorado Hills. About three years later in June 1963, the Board of Directors realized the need for fire protection services within the District and voted to begin providing said services to the community.
In 1973, the citizens of El Dorado Hills voted to have water and sewer services provided exclusively by El Dorado Irrigation District, leaving only fire protection services under the direction of the El Dorado Hills County Water District. While the District’s legal name and formation remained unchanged, it became solely known as El Dorado Hills Fire Department.
Today, El Dorado Hills Fire Department provides fire suppression, emergency medical services, special and technical rescue, hazardous materials mitigation, fire prevention, public education, disaster preparedness, and support to many Community-based programs within the nearly 78.8 square miles of response district encompassing the Communities of El Dorado Hills and Latrobe.
At its inception, the District included approximately 10,500 acres with about 90 homes, one school, one market, and one fire station. During the past sixty years, the District has expanded to approximately 58,500 acres with about 18,998 homes, 28 schools and an estimated population of 50,425. From 2010 to 2020, the community of El Dorado Hills grew by 8,439 people, representing 88% of El Dorado County’s total population growth.
The Department currently operates five fully staffed fire stations and one Employee Development Center for employee-focused growth and development programs. The Department completed the first phase of a state-of-the-art training facility in July 2023. Commercial development within the District includes a business park totaling approximately 2,700,000 square feet. The total commercial square feet in the District has grown to approximately 4,000,000.
