"The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District is a product of many
years of development, as our beautiful valley has grown from a rural
farming area to a vibrant community with a major business center,
shopping centers, and a wide variety of residential areas.
In 1912, when there were still very few residents, Danville area
community leaders decided a volunteer fire department was needed, and
established the Danville Farm Defense Fire District. In 1921, when the
name was changed to the Danville Fire Protection District, it protected approximately 50 square miles.
In 1963, at the direction of local San Ramon landowners, Contra Costa
County reorganized its East County Fire Protection District into the
San Ramon Fire Protection District. This Fire District covered a 20 square mile area around the town of San Ramon. In December of 1979, the Danville and San Ramon Fire District merged to form the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District (SRVFPD), the Tassajara Fire District was annexed in 1991, then in 1997, the Dougherty Regional Fire Authority was annexed. Today, the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District services the City of San Ramon, the Town of Danville, the communities of Alamo, Blackhawk, and Diablo, and the southern boundary of Morgan Territory and the Tassajara Valley, an area of approximately 155 square miles."
