DIVISION 12. FIRES AND FIRE PROTECTION [13000 - 14959] Â Â ( Division 12 enacted by Stats. 1939, Ch. 60. ) Â Â PART 2.7. FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT LAW OF 1987 [13800 - 13970] Â Â ( Heading of Part 2.7 renumbered from Part 3 (as added by Stats. 1987, Ch. 1013) by Stats. 1989, Ch. 1360, Sec. 91. ) Â Â

CHAPTER 1. General Provisions [13800 - 13806] Â Â ( Chapter 1 added by Stats. 1987, Ch. 1013, Sec. 11. )

  13801.  The Legislature finds and declares that the local provision of fire protection services, rescue services, emergency medical services, hazardous material emergency response services, ambulance services, and other services relating to the protection of lives and property is critical to the public peace, health, and safety of the state. Among the ways that local communities have provided for those services has been the creation of fire protection districts. Local control over the types, levels, and availability of these services is a long-standing tradition in California which the Legislature intends to retain. Recognizing that the state’s communities have diverse needs and resources, it is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this part to provide a broad statutory authority for local officials. The Legislature encourages local communities and their officials to adapt the powers and procedures in this part to meet their own circumstances and responsibilities. (Repealed and added by Stats. 1987, Ch. 1013, Sec. 11.)
