Welcome
Thank you for visiting.
This web site is provided and maintained by the volunteer members of
the Crooked River Ranch Volunteer Fire Association, Inc. We are a
“not–for–profit” 501(c) (3) corporation registered with the IRS, and
also are a “not–for–profit” corporation registered with the State of
Oregon. This means that donations to our
organization may qualify as tax deductible both at the state and
Federal level. In addition to proving volunteer firefighters and EMT
personnel to assist your Crooked River Ranch Rural Fire Protection
District (Crooked River Ranch Fire & Rescue) in meeting its staffing
needs, our goal and purpose is to raise funds to provide
firefighting and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) training to both
the volunteers and paid staff, & to purchase firefighting and EMS
related equipment for use by both the volunteers and paid staff. By
doing so, we can help keep your Crooked River Ranch Fire & Rescue
and its personnel as “up to date” as possible.
The Crooked River Ranch Volunteer Fire
Association, Inc. is a separate entity from the Fire District, with
its own Officers and Board of Directors. As such, neither the paid
staff of the Fire District, nor the Fire District Board of Directors
belong to the Volunteer Association. We do, however, work together
as closely as possible to forward the goals of both the Association
and the Fire District. We will provide information on our website
about the Fire District to help keep those that we serve better
informed about various aspects of your Crooked River Ranch Fire &
Rescue, including information on our “calls”, District outdoor
burning regulations and burning status, use and availability of
“address signs”, driveway requirements, and the like.
Our primary fire related response area covers
the entire Ranch, plus a few homes just south of the Ranch proper.
Our primary medical response area is slightly larger than our fire
response area. We currently have 2 ambulances available for medical
calls. A Paramedic is on duty 24 hours per day to provide Advanced
Life Support (ALS) response. In addition, we respond to fire and
medical incidences on National Grasslands that border the Ranch. We
also have “mutual aid” agreements in place with neighboring Fire
Departments, and both ask them for mutual aid and provide them with
mutual aid when necessary. These mutual aid agreements cover both
“fire” and “medical” situations. We also have a team trained in
“high and low angle” rescue, along with the necessary equipment
(ropes, climbing and safety equipment, etc.) to respond to incidents
on the river canyons that surround the Ranch.
As mentioned, we want to keep you abreast of
the number and type of calls that we respond to both on a monthly
and an annual basis, and have that information posted here on our
home page.
We want you to be aware of the “outdoor
burning” status and regulations. You will see a sign posted on this
page that is the same as the one posted at the entrance to the
Ranch. You do need a Permit to burn, available from the Fire
District office during regular business hours (923-6776), and you do
need to call the Burn Information Line prior to burning (923-4633).
We also have the “Outdoor Burning Regulations” posted on this site
for your information.
We have provided you with two “printable” Maps
of the Ranch containing all of the new street names. One map is an
“8 ½” X 11” map with street names.
The other map prints on larger paper and, in addition to
street names, also contains lots and lot numbers.
We hope to keep this website “dynamic” by
posting articles and up coming events that we hope you find of
interest, suggestions on how to help keep your home, and more
importantly you, safer in the event of wildfires, tips and ideas on
ways to reduce the likelihood of your having a fire in your home,
information on “address signs” so we can more quickly locate you in
the event of an emergency, and, we hope, other useful information,
so visit us often. If you have any suggestions on other information
you would like to see on this website, or how either the Fire
District, or the Volunteers can better serve you, please email us,
write us, or contact the District office during normal business
hours at 541-923-6776.
Thank you
for your
past and
future support!
