The district is divided into three sub-districts, each represented on a Board of Commissioners who are elected from within their district to represent their neighbors. The Fire Commissioners meets publicly once per month to approve expenditures.

PVFD is a sparsely populated district consisting of extensive wildland/urban interface area and is home to critical national infrastructure, including the TransCanada GTN Pipeline System that provides natural gas to California, Nevada, and the Pacific Northwest, as well as the BNSF railway which links agriculture, ranching, timber, petroleum and other industries to domestic and international markets. PVFD firefighters also protect about 12 miles of Highway 95, which acts as the primary North/South corridor between U.S. Interstate 90 and Canada, a major trucking route and primary route for summer vacationers from all over.

PVFD maintains mutual and automatic aid agreements with the neighboring rural, city and state fire districts of South Boundary Fire, North Bench Fire, City of Bonners Ferry Fire, Idaho Department of Lands, boosting our commitment to nearly county-wide emergency response. PVFD also contributes firefighters and equipment to wildland firefighting operations within the general North Idaho, Montana, and Washington areas.
