The River Fire Response has been working hard to get the proposed fire district on the ballot for the May 2024 elections. This progress happened just one year after the SLCFR board signed a 2-year partnership contract.
Thanks to support from SLCFR, other fire districts, agencies, and private organizations, we’ve trained twenty firefighters in different types of firefighting and medical response. We’ve also found three temporary stations and got four fire trucks, water tenders, and extra vehicles for brush fires.
We’re still raising money for equipment and safety gear, but we’re also setting up fire stations and placing equipment to make the valley safer. Lowering our ISO ratings from 10 to 8 or below will help homeowners get cheaper insurance. (ISO MAP PDF) We hope this will make our community safer and save people money on insurance.
Once the fire district is approved, a new board will run it. The main job of the Row River Fire Response will still be raising money to make sure the valley has good fire and medical help.
OUR COMMUNITY HAS RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM ACROSS THE STATE OF OREGON. BELOW ARE JUST SOME OF THE BENEFITS THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED AT NO COST TO THE PROPOSED FIRE DISTRICT.
