Since 1894 firefighters with Forest Grove Fire and Rescue have been serving the community of
Forest Grove and the surrounding rural communities of Dilley, Fernwood, Gales Creek,
Glenwood, Hillside, Kansas City, Roy, Thatcher, Trolley Park, Verboort and Wilkesboro which
make up the Forest Grove Rural Fire Protection Dist. Between the City and Rural Fire district
our response area is 85 square miles, we also mutual aid with our neighboring Fire
Departments.
In 2009, department personnel responded to 2505 calls. These calls ranged from fire and
medical calls to non emergency public assists. We currently operate out of two fire stations.
The main station located in downtown Forest Grove was built in 1994 replacing the old fire
station which was located just next door in what is now the parking lot between the police and
fire stations. The station is staffed with admin personnel, and both career and volunteer
firefighters. The second station which was built in the early 80's and is located in Gales Creek
and is operated solely by volunteers.
If you think that you might be interested in joining our organization and serving your
community as a volunteer firefighter, feel free to stop by and pick up an application or download
