In 1943 the first state law providing for the creation of fire districts was passed. In 1972, the Bureau of Public Affairs Research at the University of Idaho issued the first edition of the Idaho Fire Protection District Officials' Handbook . The Bureau is pleased to present the 1995 edition of the Idaho Fire Protection District Officials' Handbook explaining provisions of Idaho law related to fire protection districts in a convenient and non-legal form. This edition of the Handbook brings together all the essential information for fire protection districts according to Idaho law as of 1995. Throughout the Handbook , Idaho laws have been paraphrased and a notation of this appears with an Idaho Code citation from the law placed after the portion.
Readers can refer to the Idaho Code for the precise legal wording of provisions.
