Administration

The Lathrop-Manteca Fire District provides fire protection and emergency services for the City of Lathrop, rural Lathrop and rural Manteca. Within these boundaries also include the Raymus Village Development, Oakwood Shores Development, and the communities of Nile Garden and New Haven. The Fire District is located in the central San Joaquin Valley, 70 miles east of San Francisco, and is confident in its growing role as a choice community for raising families and building businesses. The City of Lathrop is in the midst of becoming one of Northern California's fastest growing and most comprehensive master planned cities. The Lathrop-Manteca Fire District serves a growing population of over 37,000 residents.

The Fire District is an independent special district formed under state statutes in the State of California. The district is organized under the code of the State of California, Health and Safety Code section 13800, known as the Fire Protection District Law of 1987. It is governed by a five member Board of Directors who are elected at-large to serve alternating four-year terms.  The Fire District's origins can be traced back to both the Manteca Rural Fire Protection District and the Lathrop Rural Fire Protection District. In 1956 both Fire District's merged to become one agency as the Manteca-Lathrop Rural County Fire Protection District. In February 2002 the Fire Board voted to change the name to the Lathrop-Manteca Fire Protection District.

The Fire District staffs five strategically located fire stations with five companies. Staffing is augmented when needed from one of our stations staffed with an Engine and Rescue company. One shift Battalion Chief Officer is responsible for oversight of the on duty companies. All stations are staffed with career personnel, and one station is staffed by a combination of career and volunteer firefighters. The district is a proactive fire & emergency response organization that covers almost 90 square miles. The Lathrop Manteca Fire District is an "All Risk" organization that routinely responds throughout the State of California's master mutual aid system.
