Since 2006, Bonny Doon has been pressing the Local Agency Formation Commission for the right to hold an election to create and fund a Bonny Doon Fire Protection District. The district would be similar to the existing districts serving Boulder Creek, Ben Lomond, Felton, Zayante and Branciforte. Those districts provide excellent service with a combination of a small paid staff and a group of loyal volunteers. These districts operate efficiently and are beloved and supported by their residents. The Bonny Doon proposal was modeled after those districts.
