CRR Fire Auxiliary
The Crooked River Ranch Fire Auxiliary is a
very active volunteer organization that serves as a support group
for the both the Crooked River Ranch Volunteer Fire Association,
Inc. and the Fire District itself.
The Auxiliary meets at the Fire
Station each Monday morning at 9:00 AM for coffee and donuts, and to
plan and carry out the “chores & projects” for that day, ending with
lunch. Formal Auxiliary meetings are held on the first Monday of
each month at 9:00 AM
At any given time, you are liable
to find the auxiliary doing maintenance work on the Fire Station,
putting up Christmas lights, installing a new address sign for a
Ranch resident, or cooking breakfast for the Volunteer Fire Fighters
at 5:00AM after a long fire. The list is almost endless, and results
in considerable savings to the District, and thus to the taxpayers.
The Auxiliary is an indispensable
part of the Volunteer Fire Association’s annual Holiday Toy & Food
Drive for needy families on the Ranch.
The Auxiliary is also very involved
in the Volunteer Fire Association’s annual Easter Egg Hunt, annual
Halloween party for children on the Ranch, annual Breakfasts, and
other activities and fundraisers.
The Auxiliary has also taken on the
task of cleaning up 8
miles of Ranch roads!
If you have a talent in a
particular area, and would like to share that talent, the Fire
Auxiliary might just be the organization for you. As an example, we
are fortunate enough to have a member of the Auxiliary that is an
excellent machinist, and he has hand crafted several specialized
firefighting related tools for us, that has saved the District a
considerable amount of money over purchasing them. So, having
Auxiliary members with special talents is a great benefit, not only
to the District, but also to the taxpayers of the District.
If you have a little spare time,
and would like to be a part of an organization that gives back to
the community, but aren’t interested in being a firefighter or
medic, please consider the Crooked River Ranch Rural Fire Protection
District Auxiliary.
For more information, please
contact the District Office during regular business hours at
923-6776.
