fire district
Local emergency jurisdiction
A fire district is a designated geographic area served by a particular fire department or station, used for organizing emergency response and funding.
Property owners within a fire district typically pay taxes or assessments to support fire protection services: Our fire district just approved a new levy for equipment upgrades.
