History
The Graton Fire Protection District formed in 1951 to serve the
community of Graton and Northern Sebastopol. Initially, when there was a
need for the fire department, citizens would go to the firehouse and ring
the siren, calling farmers from the fields to respond. Later on, a local
business person would receive the emergency phone call and run down to
sound the siren. Today, we have the enhanced 9-1-1 system that provides
the caller address and dispatchers trained with pre-arrival instructions
for medical calls.
Graton Fire was one of the first to purchase the "Jaws of
Life" and responded to traffic accidents throughout West County.
Welcome to the Graton Fire Protection
District, home of Engine 84. We are the busiest, all volunteer fire
company in Sonoma County responding to over 500 calls a year over 27
square miles. Our volunteers provide 24 hour-a-day fire and medical
response to Graton and unincorporated parts of Northern Sebastopol and
Western Santa Rosa. We also provide assistance to adjacent fire districts
within the county wide mutual aid program. We have advanced training
in cardiac defibrillation, swift water rescue, and low-angle rescue. For
more information, please call the fire district at (707) 823-5515 or email
us.
The Graton Firefighters Association provides a
number of services to the community including address signs, smoke
detector education, a Halloween haunted house, holiday toy drive,
educational programs at the schools, and tours of the firehouse. The
association can be reached at (707) 823-7939.
