The Summit Fire District is the result of the merger between the Doney Park Fire District and the Timberline-Fernwood Fire District.  The Merger was taken to the public for a vote on March 13, 2001. At an organizational meeting on May 29, 2001 between Doney Park and Timberline-Fernwood Fire Districts, the two fire boards voted for 5 out of the 8 members to form the new Summit Fire District Board of Directors.  Dan Atkinson, Ben Fisk, William Dunlap Sr., Randy James and Rick Parker were those chosen for the new board.  Dan Atkinson was chosen as the new chairman with Rick Parker the new clerk.
