Napa County’s record-setting fire contract will add staff, fund year-round operations

The Napa County Board of Supervisors has renewed a contract agreement with Cal Fire to bolster fire response. Totaling $38 million, the renewal is the largest services contract the county has ever made.

Effective from the start of this month to June 30, 2035, the agreement will expand fire personnel in the Napa County Fire Department so it can be operational year-round. The department will add another battalion chief, bringing the total number to three, along with six full-time firefighters and five seasonal firefighters.
