Linda Fire Protection District and City of Marysville Fire Department Complete Merger to Strengthen Regional Fire and Emergency Services
Yuba County, CA – The Linda Fire Protection District (LFPD) and the City of Marysville Fire Department (MFD) are proud to announce the official completion of their merger, creating a unified fire and emergency services agency that will enhance public safety and improve service delivery across the region.
Effective July 1, 2026, the City of Marysville Fire Department has been fully annexed into the Linda Fire Protection District. This consolidation marks a significant step forward in regional collaboration, resource sharing, and long-term sustainability for fire protection and emergency response services.
This merger strengthens our ability to protect the community; by combining our personnel, equipment, and operational resources, we are better positioned to provide efficient, consistent, and high‑quality emergency services to residents across Linda and Marysville.
The unified agency will operate under the Linda Fire Protection District name and governance structure. All fire stations, personnel, and equipment previously belonging to the City of Marysville Fire Department will transition to LFPD. The merger is expected to improve response times, eliminate administrative redundancies, enhance firefighter training and staffing levels, and support long-term financial stability.
This partnership reflects years of planning and collaboration. The benefits are clear: stronger fire protection, better use of taxpayer dollars, and a more resilient emergency response system for the entire region.
Residents will not experience any interruption in services. Emergency response operations will continue seamlessly, and community members will see improved coverage and expanded capabilities as the unified department moves forward.
