History
The Penryn Fire Protection District was founded September 1, 1924 by the Penryn Farm Bureau. Arthur Flint served as the first Fire Chief of the volunteer group.
In the early 1970's Placer County provided the first paid firefighters in the region through an agreement with the California Division of Forestry staffing the Penryn Station. In 1985 this agreement was dissolved. Concerned about losing it's paid coverage, the Loomis, Newcastle & Penryn Fire Districts joined together to form Tri District Fire through a JPA.
March 1, 1991 the Tri District was dissolved when the Loomis Fire District separated from the group. At this time the Penryn Fire District established it's first paid staff program. The Penryn Fire District continues to provide its services to the community through it's paid and volunteer staff.
