In 1977, the property owners of Crooked River Ranch established the Crooked River Ranch Rural Fire Protection District (CRRRFPD). Prior to its formation, the Ranch had no local fire protection or emergency medical services.

Originally staffed entirely by volunteers, the District has evolved into a modern, full-service combination department, providing fire, rescue, and emergency medical services to the community. Our team includes both career and volunteer personnel. The career staff comprises the Fire Chief, three shift Captain/Paramedics, three shift Firefighter/Paramedics, and an Administrative Assistant.

Our volunteer staff includes a Deputy Fire Marshal, Lieutenants, and firefighters—many of whom are also trained paramedics or emergency medical technicians. Additionally, we operate a Student Volunteer program, in which participants work shifts at the station, respond to emergency calls, and attend fire science and emergency medical courses at Central Oregon Community College.
