Medford Fire-Rescue provides firefighting, paramedic emergency medical response, a regional hazardous materials team, heavy rescue and life safety services to the residents of the City of Medford and Medford Rural Fire District.  We protect nearly 90,000 people from five fire stations around the clock.  Our 82 personnel respond approximately 10,000 times a year to calls for assistance with the goal to make the situation better than we found it.  On average, every two weeks, our paramedics successfully restart a failed heart to return a citizen to their family.

Prevention is a major focus of our mission.  Some examples include, inspecting building for hazards, reviewing plans for new construction, installing car seats for children, participating in fourteen initiatives to prevent accidents to children and young adults through our Safe Kids Coalition, providing fire station tours and ride-alongs on fire engines.

 

We are enthusiastic to serve our community.  It is our commitment to provide the citizens of Medford with the best service possible. 

 

Thank You for your support,

Dave Bierwiler, Fire Chief.
