WELCOME, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THE NESTUCCA RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT

We are a Community Resource Dedicated to Public Service Since 1949. As an organization we take a great deal of pride in the service we provide to the community. We are a combination department with both paid and volunteer staff. Our volunteers are the backbone of our District and provide the critical link in our service. These volunteers spend many hours donating their time and energy to training and responding to emergency calls. It takes a deep commitment to help others and become a volunteer. A great deal of sacrifice has been made by all of our volunteers to be able to meet the training standards for this job. Although the demands are vigorous, and the sacrifice substantial, the self satisfaction and the reward one feels from helping their community far outweighs the sacrifice.

Department Overview: Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District is a combination fire agency governed by a five-member elected Board of Directors. We provide fire, emergency medical services, water rescue, rope rescue, vehicle rescue, Haz-mat response, and other public services.
