The Nevada County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution on Tuesday, Feb. 11, adopting the Truckee Fire Protection District's (TFPD) Capital Improvement Plan, Mitigation Fee Annual Expenditure Plan, and 5-Year Findings Report for fiscal year 2024/25.

One of the most essential features for the delivery of fire protection services is fire apparatus access. We need to be able to get to the emergency to stop the loss. If we cannot get our firefighters, emergency technicians and tools to the job, it can be very challenging to change the outcome. Fire apparatus and emergency vehicle access is important for all our calls for service including but not limited to medical aids, vehicle accidents, fires, and hazardous condition calls.
