People Helping People
Martin B. Knoelk,
Fire Chief |
I am honored to be
Fire Chief of the North Ada County Fire Rescue
District, a combination department comprised of
both outstanding full-time Firefighters and
Volunteers working as a team to serve the
citizens within our community. Our department's
slogan “People Helping People” reminds us that
we touch |
|
each other’s lives each and every day, and by
helping each other we improve our own lives.
The North Ada County Fire Rescue District serves
over 30,000 residents within 34 square miles. It
is comprised of Garden City, a growing community
along 6 miles of the Boise River; Hidden
Springs, an elegant and quiet community in the
Boise foothills; and other unincorporated areas
of Ada County. The District maintains an ISO
Class 3 rating. We provide an all-risk emergency
response from three fire stations. Two fire
stations are staffed twenty-four hours a day by
eighteen firefighter/EMTs. Our third fire
station has a daytime staff and volunteers
during evenings, nights and weekends. Our
department is committed to providing for
firefighter safety through our wellness program
and an emphasis on training. North Ada County
Fire Rescue strives to be technically current
and fiscally responsible, and to provide optimal
response and professional customer service. We
invite the public to visit our fire stations,
meet their firefighters and take advantage of
the many services we offer including CPR
classes, blood pressure checks and public
education and information.
