The Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District, is a special-purpose district
that provides fire protection
to the unincorporated areas of Sacramento County
along with the cities of Rancho Cordova

The 16 districts that merged together are:
Arcade, Arden, Carmichael, Citrus Heights, Elverta, Fair Oaks, Florin, Mather Field, McClellan Field, Michigan Bar, Mills, North Highlands, Orangevale, Rancho Cordova, Rio Linda, and Sloughhouse
The Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District provides services through 42 stations and 750 uniformed and support personnel to nearly 600,000 people in a 417 square miles (1,080 km²) area. Metro Fire represents 16 predecessor fire agencies. Some of these fire agencies were founded in the early twenties to provide fire protection in remote parts of the County.
The varied demographics of the District provide opportunity for its personnel to respond to emergencies in rural, suburban and urban settings. The wide diversity of emergency incidents require firefighters to be proficient in wildland fire fighting, structural fire fighting, crash fire rescue, technical rescue, swift water rescue, hazardous material mitigation, and paramedic medical services.
The Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District "METRO FIRE" continues to provide the best quality fire protection, fire prevention, fire safety education, emergency medical aid, and other emergency response services.
