Galt Fire Protection District (California)

== Area Served ==
The Galt Fire Protection District served the City of Galt, located in California's Central Valley in Sacramento County, Northern California. The city was named in 1869 after the former City of Galt, Ontario, Canada, itself named in honor of John Galt of the Canada Company. Incorporated on August 16, 1946, the City of Galt encompasses an area covering 6.78 square miles and serves a population of approximately 23,647 inhabitants. Galt is bordered entirely by unincorporated areas of both Sacramento and San Joaquin Counties
== History ==
The Galt Volunteer Fire Department was formed on June 13, 1921. In 2006, the Galt Fire Protection District merged its fire services with the Elk Grove Fire Department to form the Cosumnes Fire Department. At the time of the merger, the Galt Fire District had two staffed stations with two ALS engines, two ALS ambulances, and a battalion chief.
