Fire officials on Friday marked the official beginning of a new era in firefighting for Contra Costa County.

The Contra Costa Fire Protection District formally announced its annexation of the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District in a Brentwood ceremony.

The move adds 128,000 residents of eastern Contra Costa County to the area that ConFire oversees. It is expected to quicken response times in cities such as Oakley, Bethel Island and Knightsen. The expansion covers 249 square miles, a 45% increase over the district’s previous coverage territory.

ConFire now will provide fire and emergency medical services to 11 cities and 11 unincorporated areas in Contra Costa County.

“Today marks our arrival at the finish line of a pursuit for improved fire and emergency services that has been years in the making,” Fire Chief Lewis Broschard said. “I am appreciative of all the work from the many elected and fire leaders that has gone into making this day a reality.”

A preview of the annexation came on June 1, when a new fire station opened in Oakley.
