The Mosquito Fire Protection District (MFPD) serves the rural community of Mosquito, California, providing fire suppression and emergency medical services in a high wildfire-risk area.
According to the El Dorado County Civil Grand Jury, the district has faced ongoing issues with internal dysfunction, governance challenges, and strained relationships between board members and staff. Local reporting in the Mountain Democrat has also documented a history of high turnover among fire chiefs, with frequent leadership changes disrupting continuity in operations and long-term planning.
These factors have fueled community concern and debate about the district’s stability, transparency, and ability to retain experienced leadership while meeting its critical public safety mission.
Imagine working in a station run by old people and felons. Get as far away from this place as you can, then keep going. If you ever want to work in the fire service it’s best you not have this place on your resume.
