Winters Fire Protection District
The Winters Fire Protection District was formed by resolution and first organized on May 20,1930 and is an independent district governed by a Board of Commissioners, who meet quarterly to conduct business. The Winters Fire District contracts with the City of Winters for fire services and staffing. This cost-effective partnership eliminates duplication of services and achieves economies of scale. The day to day fire services are under the direction of the City of Winters. The employees and all assets of the Fire Department are a department within the City of Winters.
The Fire District meets annually with a subcommittee of the City Council in order to discuss, plan and participate in the provision of fire services.

The western portion of the WFPD proceeds north of SR128 and west to the Monticello Dam at Lake Berryessa.
