About Marion County Fire District No 1

MARION COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT #1 (MCFD1) began as a single volunteer station (Four Corners Fire Department) in 1939 has grown to include eight stations and employs 68 career personnel with a volunteer force 60-strong. The District has a response area of 80 square miles which includes approximately 50,000 residents and an annual call volume of over 5,800 responses. MCFD1 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. MCFD1 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 all began as a single volunteer station (Four Corners Fire Department) in 1939. That volunteer station merged with the Brooks Rural Fire District in 1968, creating Marion County Fire District #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. The district has adopted a “paramilitary” command model that is headed by the Fire Chief and governed by an elected five-member Board of Directors. The district provides 24 hour advanced life support ambulance service to an area slightly larger than its fire protection boundaries, as well as backup ambulance to surrounding areas. We currently offer 3 full-time paramedic advanced life support ambulances for the community.
