The Marion County Fire District No. 1 has a rich history. Like most fire departments, it started on the backs of dedicated citizens that found a need to protect their families, friends, and businesses from fire. It began as a single all volunteer station (Four Corners Fire Department) in 1939.

That one volunteer station merged with the Brooks Rural Fire District in 1968, creating Marion County Fire District No. 1. Since that time, it has grown to include stations at Four Corners, Middle Grove, Pratum, Macleay, Brooks, Clear Lake, Labish Center, and the Chemeketa Fire Station.

MCFD No. 1 exists to make a positive difference in our community.

We accomplish this by:

(1) Rapid Response
(2) Taking Appropriate Action and
(3) Producing a Beneficial Result

What began as a single volunteer station (Four Corners Fire Department) in 1939 has grown to include eight stations and employs 60+ career personnel with a volunteer force of 60 to 75. The District has a response area of 80+ square miles, a growing population of 50,000+ residents, and an annual call volume of over 10,000 responses.

The Marion County Fire District No. 1 is not part of the city or the county but instead is a “special service district” that provides fire and emergency service to residents in unincorporated Marion County. The fire district is run by an elected volunteer board comprised of residents of the fire district.
