Welcome to Kentfield Fire Protection District

Q: What basis does the Fire District have for imposing a tax?

Many residents in Marin live within the “State Responsibility Area” or SRA. These residents will soon receive a notice in the mail from the State Board of Equalization (BOE) alerting them that a fee will be levied by California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the state’s firefighting agency, for fire prevention services. The notice will advise them that they will be charged $150 for each habitable structure on their property. There are approximately 800 affected parcels within the Kentfield Fire District. Those Kentfield residents will receive a $35 reduction in the fee given that they are currently protected by the Fire District, resulting in a total fee charge of $115.

Vial of Life is a program that allows individuals to have their complete medical information ready in their home for emergency personnel to reference during an emergency. This program is used to provide the patient’s medical information when a patient is not able to speak or remember this information. Vial of Life programs are commonly used by Senior citizens and are promoted by senior and healthcare organizations, but this life saving program can be used by anyone in need.  The Vial of L.I.F.E. forms and program will assist emergency responders with your medical care.  Review at least twice a year to ensure that the information is accurate and up to date.
