The duties of a fire department have changed over the years. The staff of the MCVFD focus on fire prevention, public education, risk reduction, and hazard abatement, in addition to fire and rescue response and control. We still fight fire, but we also respond to other emergency situations including vehicle extrications, medical emergencies, hazardous materials incidents, structural collapse, swift
water rescue, and any natural or man-made disasters. The Department provides an inspection and permitting program to make our building environment safer for all City residents, business owners, customers, and visitors. In addition, the Department provides public fire and safety education programs through direct contact, special presentations, and media releases. The men and women of the MCVFD are committed to fulfilling our modern day mission and to continually improving our ability to meet the goal of making the City of Myrtle Creek as safe as possible to its citizens.
