Oregon Fire Protection District

Welcome to the official page of Oregon Fire Protection District. The district serves a population of approximately 9,600 residents.

The Fire District is located in Oregon, Illinois and is comprised of over 120 square miles of incorporated and unincorporated areas of Central Ogle County, Illinois. Incorporated areas include the City of Oregon, Villages of Chana, Payne’s Point, and Daysville. Unincorporated areas include the townships of: Marion, Nashua-Oregon, Pine Rock, White Rock, Rockvale, and Taylor. Additionally, the distr

ict serves three state parks: Castle Rock, Lowden, and Lowden Miller State Forest. Along with these state parks, the district also covers many large Youth and Church camps. The mighty Rock River separates the district into nearly two equal parts, connected via Illinois RT-64 (Washington street) at Oregon, Illinois. The Oregon Fire Protection District serves its residents, stakeholders and visitors from two stations: Station 1, (District Headquarters), is located in the City of Oregon and Station 2, is located in the Village of Chana. The district is governed by a three member Board of Trustees appointed by the Ogle County Board. All Oregon Fire Protection District board meetings are open to the public and are held at 7:00 PM on the Second Wednesday of each month at the Oregon Fire Protection District Administrative Services Building, located at 106 S. First Street, Oregon, Illinois 61061. Currently, the fire district employs 25 paid on call members who respond to Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical calls within the district. Full-Time Advanced Life Support Emergency Medical Services are provided by Licensed Paramedics 24 hours per day from our Headquarters Fire Station in Oregon Illinois. EMS services are currently contracted through ATS Inc. of Rockford Illinois. In the 2021/2022 fiscal year, the fire district expects to respond to approximately 1100 calls for service. Of these 1100 requests, over two thirds of these (700+) will be for Emergency Medical Services. The Oregon Fire Protection District is also a member of MABAS Division 18 which is comprised of other Ogle County Fire Departments and Fire Protection Districts. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to provide backup assistance at large scale and/or special rescue (Water, Technical or Hazardous Materials) incidents that require additional manpower. With this MABAS 18 agreement, Oregon FPD will respond to these neighboring agencies in the same manner to provide additional services as needed. We encourage you to visit this page, as additional updates and Information will be added as they become available.

Happy EMS week to all of our amazing staff as well as EMS everywhere. It’s not an easy job but caring for another person is truly rewarding and it’s everything we strive to do!

Congrats to Leyton Kenney and Madelyn Wendt on their completion of Basic Operations Firefighter and Advanced Technician Firefighter. They have a Hazmat course to complete in the next few weeks and then they will be certified!

20 weeks of work completed, solid work by both of you!

Lane Dinges recently completed Trench Rescue Operations in Wilmington. He has been busy this year knocking out classes!

Friday, crews trained on ascending and descending ropes. The weather has been too good not to take advantage of it!

As always, the people who protect this community are always working on getting better!

Another busy couple weeks of classes. Dan Groenhagen and Lane Dinges gave up some time away from home and work to complete more technical rescue classes around the state. There is not many weeks without someone in class and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Happy Telecommunicator Week to our favorite dispatchers! We have great dispatchers and we may be biased but we think we have the best of the best!

This week, April 12th - 18th, we proudly recognize National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, a time to honor the dedicated men and women you never see, who ensure help is always just a call away.

Their strength, professionalism, and compassion make a difference in countless lives each day.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment and service to our communities.

We are deeply saddened to learn of Bobs passing. Bob dedicated 26 years to the Oregon Fire Protection District as well as time with Oregon Ambulance prior to our merger. Bob was a kind, intelligent, and a great all around man. He will be greatly missed and we are thankful for the many years of dedication he gave to the community.

View Robert "Bob" A. Egyed's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.
