A Message From Chief Belyea

It is my honor to present to you the 2022 Annual Report for the American Canyon Fire Protection District.

As we reflect on the past year, we are grateful for the opportunity to continue serving our community with the highest level of professionalism and dedication.

I would like to thank Fire Chief Cahill for his service to the District. He retired after almost 2 years of service and guided the District through the challenges of COVID-19.

I am honored to be your Fire Chief. A Transfer of Command took place in June 2022. I am committed to carrying out the District’s vision and mission, while we continue to work tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of our community.

I would like to take a moment to recognize Firefighter Cia, who has been with the Fire District since 2004. His dedication and teamwork will be missed, and we wish him all the best in his retirement.

This program is a significant improvement in the care we can provide to our community and reflects our commitment to advancing our services through cutting-edge technology.

I’m happy to announce that the Battalion Chief job description was completed and the Board approved the creation and hiring of two new Battalion Chief positions. This investment in leadership will help us to maintain high standards of service and support for our firefighters as the volume of our calls for service continues to increase.

It is important to note that in 2022 the District had the highest call volume in its history. During the pandemic, the District re-opened the station at 225 James Road. It has remained opened and has played a critical role in addressing the growing demand for our services. This re-opening is also a testament to the Fire District’s commitment to providing top-notch care to our community.

In conclusion, we are proud of the progress we have made in the past year. We look forward to continuing to serve the American Canyon community with the highest level of professionalism and dedication. Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we work together to keep our community safe.
