About

Milton-Freewater Rural Fire Department

Serving the Milton Freewater area with pride and distinction since 1982. As we look to the future, exciting things will be happening for the safety and health of the people of our Valley.

MFRFD & EMS now operates as the sole ambulance service within a vast 350-mile radius that lies beyond the city's coverage, providing critical emergency medical services to a largely underserved population. As the only available resource in the region, MFRFD plays a crucial role in ensuring that residents have access to timely and professional medical care during emergencies. Their commitment to serving this expansive area highlights their dedication to community health and safety, filling a vital gap in healthcare services where no other options exist. The reliability and expertise of MFRFD's team are essential for the well-being of the communities within this extensive service area, making them an indispensable asset to the region. 

Over the decades, under Saager's stewardship, the Milton Freewater Rural Fire Department and EMS evolved from a volunteer-driven initiative into a professional emergency services provider serving a 350-square-mile radius. Despite financial and operational hurdles, Saager's steadfast commitment to community service and innovative leadership has ensured the department's resilience and ongoing dedication to enhancing the safety and lives of the people of Milton Freewater and beyond.
