Black Butte Ranch Rural Fire Protection District

With scenic pine forests and critical infrastructure to protect, the Black Butte Ranch Rural Fire District strives to serve as responsible stewards of this uniquely fire-prone environment. Investments in training facilities, apparatus, and equipment ensure personnel can safely and effectively respond to calls.

Public Contact Information

Nestled in the pine forests of Central Oregon, the Black Butte Ranch Rural Fire Protection District provides fire suppression and emergency medical services to the communities of Black Butte Ranch and the surrounding area. Covering over 140 square miles, this region faces a significant wildfire risk during the hot, dry summer months.

To meet these challenges, the District relies on a team of dedicated volunteers and professionals. With two strategically located stations, firefighters can rapidly respond to calls 24/7. The District’s 25 volunteers undergo rigorous training to stay prepared for medical emergencies, structure fires, wildland fires, motor vehicle accidents, and other response needs.

In addition to emergency response, the District places a strong emphasis on community wildfire preparedness and prevention. Through community chipping days, public education programs, and home ignition zone assessments, the District helps property owners reduce fuels and fireproof their homes. Partnerships with organizations like FireFree and Firewise Communities promote a culture of fire safety and preparedness.

With scenic pine forests and critical infrastructure to protect, the Black Butte Ranch Rural Fire District strives to serve as responsible stewards of this uniquely fire-prone environment. Investments in training facilities, apparatus, and equipment ensure personnel can safely and effectively respond to calls. The District’s volunteers and staff look forward to continuing a tradition of exceptional service and community collaboration.
