In 1915 the Hughson Fire Protection District (HFPD) was established to provide fire protection and emergency services to the surrounding community. These services then and still are today predominantly provided by volunteers. The HFPD provides its services to our 35 square mile district along with reciprocal mutual aid to our neighboring fire departments. Since 1972 when the “City of Hughson” was established, the HFPD has been the City’s fire and emergency services partner within the city limits, as well as our full district boundaries. Today, over 100 years later, the HFPD still relies on and operates with the majority of our personnel being volunteers. The HFPD currently operates with 25 to 30 personnel, of which only 3 are paid staff. Therefore, the HFPD volunteer firefighters make up about 90% of our total firefighters. Along with their family and personal obligations, the volunteers donate as much time as they can to support our community. Our volunteers consist of people with careers in accounting, farming, sales, manufacturing, public service, as well as other professions. Our current group of volunteers has a mix of personnel that has already volunteered for 2 years, 10 plus years, 20 plus years, 30 plus years and even one of our volunteers has 49 years of service with the HFPD. The HFPD with its limited tax base revenue, and along with the Volunteer Firefighters Associations Annual Chicken BBQ fund raiser, have done an excellent job of managing these revenues and fund raisers to provide our community with the fire and emergency services needed. However, we must continue to prepare for the growth of the City of Hughson and the surrounding community with sufficient staffing of volunteers. The HFPD operates out of one station and runs approximately 1,100 calls per year. HFPD is always accepting applications, hiring dates are variable.
