About

A local department, built for the ground it covers.

A well-trained group of volunteers, with apparatus suited to the district we protect.

Who we are

Built around this district.

Sand Hollow Fire District is located in southern Payette County, sharing a border with Gem and Canyon counties. Sand Hollow Fire provides a well-trained group of volunteers and apparatus suited to the district we protect, ensuring adequate manpower is available each and every time our service is requested.

Sand Hollow is farm ground, open range, and the homes in between, and any fire that starts has potential to impact a large area. There is no hydrant at the end of any road out here. Water is something you bring with you.

In an emergency

In the case of a life threatening emergency, please call 911.

In the event of an emergency, such as a fire, vehicle accident or medical situation where you or someone else requires the assistance of an ambulance, fire department or the police, please call 911.

While you may have the phone number for an individual you know with any one of these groups of first responders, contacting them directly will result in an additional phone call to Dispatch, which could ultimately result in a delay in response time to the scene of the emergency.
