Welcome!
The goal of the Bonita-Sunnyside Fire Protection District
is to offer the most effective and efficient fire protection
and emergency services within its community.
Today, we service a population of over 15,000 and over 160
businesses within five square miles. The Bonita-Fire Protection
District employs a three-person Fire Board, 12 firefighters, one Fire
Chief, a District Secretary/Office Manager and a Full-Time Office Assistant.
This district averages 1,150 calls annually with 80% being medical in nature.
The Fire Crews are divided into three different divisions with four firefighters
per division. Each division contains a Captain, Engineer, and two Firefighter
Paramedics, working a twenty-four hour shift.
Fire Equipment includes a first line 1999 Pierce Quantum Rescue Pumper,
1988 Beck Pumper, and a 1954 Mack Parade Engine.
In February 1950, the Bonita-Sunnyside Fire Protection District was
organized, servicing a population of 473 and seven businesses. It consisted
of volunteer firefighters serving an area of over 14 square miles. Ten fires
were fought the first year.
