History[]
The Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) was formed on July 1, 1993 as a dependent special district with the Alameda County Board of Supervisors as its governing body. This consolidation brought together into a single jurisdiction the Castro Valley Fire Department, Eden Consolidated Fire Protection District and County Fire Patrol. Subsequently, the following communities have contracted with the ACFD:
- July 1, 1995 City of San Leandro, California
- July 1, 1997 City of Dublin, California
- August 1, 2002 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
- October 1, 2007 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
- May 1, 2010 City of Newark, California
- July 1, 2010 City of Union City, California
- July 1, 2012 City of Emeryville, California
On January 20, 2008, the ACFD became responsible for the administration and operation of the Alameda County Regional Emergency Communications Center (ACRECC). The dispatch center provides dispatch and regional communication center services for the ACFD, the Alameda County Emergency Medical Services Agency, Camp Parks Combat Support Training Center, and the cities of Alameda, Fremont, Livermore and Pleasanton.
