Elk Grove Fire Department (California)

== Area Served ==
The Elk Grove Fire Department served the City of Elk Grove, located just south of the City of Sacramento in California's Central Valley, Sacramento County, Northern California. The city was named after the Elk Grove Hotel and Stage Stop when it was founded in 1850. Incorporated on July 1, 2000, the city encompasses an area covering 42.20 square miles and serves a population of approximately 176,124 inhabitants. Elk Grove is bordered by the unincorporated community of Vineyard to the northeast; the unincorporated community of Wilton to the east; the City of Galt to the south; the unincorporated community of Franklin to the west-southwest; and the unincorporated community of Clarksburg in Yolo County to the west. 
== History ==
The Elk Grove Fire Department was founded in 1893 with a single hose cart and a small group of dedicated volunteers. On July 6, 1925, the Elk Grove Fire District was formed covering approximately 100 square miles, including the communities of Elk Grove, Franklin, Point Pleasant, and Sheldon. In 1940, Elk Grove became the first fire district to employ a full-time fire chief. In 1996, Elk Grove transitioned from a combination volunteer/paid-call department to a career department. In 2006, the Elk Grove Fire Department merged its fire services with the Galt Fire Protection District to form the Cosumnes Fire Department.
