Welcome !

The North Tahoe Fire Protection District provides services through 6 stations and 50 uniformed and support personnel to nearly 20,000 people in a 31 square mile area. The varied demographics of the District provide opportunity for its personnel to respond to emergencies in rural, suburban and urban settings. The wide diversity of emergency incidents require firefighters to be proficient in wildland fire fighting, structural fire fighting, back country/technical rescue, swift water rescue, hazardous materials mitigation, and emergency medical services.

In addition to his responsibilities as Fire Chief for the NTFPD, Chief Whitelaw is the Operational Area Coordinator for the Tahoe Basin Operational Area of the California Office of Emergency Services Fire and Rescue Branch and the Mutual Aid Coordinator for the Lake Tahoe Regional Fire Chiefs Association, which covers the area east of Donner Summit to and including the communities of western Nevada.

The North Tahoe Fire Protection District continues to provide all risk emergency response to the citizens of our district. This includes the best quality fire protection, fire prevention, fire safety education, emergency medical service, and other emergency response services.
