Dear Potential Volunteer:

Estacada Rural Fire Protection District provides fire protection, emergency medical services, public fire and life safety education, home safety inspections and commercial fire safety inspections to members of the community surrounding and including the City of Estacada community of approximately 13,000 people, 4300 homes, with an assessed valuation of $757,229,179.35.

Volunteers are a vital link to providing this much needed protection at an affordable cost to the taxpayer.  Volunteers are members of the community (taxpayers) that are actively doing something to bridge the gap between a public service agency and the community it serves bringing them closer together.

Added benefits to the volunteers include a $30,000 dollar life insurance policy, medical disability, free annual physical examination and a reimbursement program to offset vehicle, clothing and education expenses incurred as a result of the volunteer’s participation in emergency medical, fire responses and training activities.

Please complete and submit the Volunteer Application Form for our records.  It includes a personal information form, an authorization to release information form and blank pages for the purpose of completing a resume briefly describing your personal history.

Estacada Rural Fire District #69’s pre-entry and physical agility examination has been developed due to the complexity and changes of the Fire Service as we know it today.  In addition, there are many mandated certification and skill levels that the Fire District must assure that all members attain.  Many of these mandates or standards are established by Federal and State laws, Accident Prevention Division, OSHA, National Fire Protection Association and the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office.

This pre-entry test and physical agility test will assist the Fire District in assessing your success in the numerous certification and task levels you will be expected to achieve as a Volunteer member of the Estacada Rural Fire District.
