The Cloverdale Fire Protection District
Jack Rosevear served as fire chief and CEO for the Cloverdale Fire Protection District from 1996 to 1998, where he was responsible for the establishment and management of this new fire district from the ground up. Jack Rosevear formulated policies and procedures, budgeted and executed operational and capital expenditures under limited resources, and guided other initiatives in the process of creating an operational fire protection district.
Today, the Cloverdale Fire Protection District features a fire station completed in 2010 that was designed to serve the community for the next 50 years. Its equipment includes four fire trucks, some with vegetation firefighting capabilities. The fire district also has other multipurpose emergency response vehicles.
Responsible for protecting over 75 square miles of northern Sonoma County, the fire district relies heavily on volunteerism to protect the county's residents and their property. It takes pride in its volunteers, who are on call 24 hours a day. Both paid and volunteer firemen maintain their standing tradition of providing the best service possible to their community.
