Umatilla RFPD
The Umatilla RFPD is a combination department, meaning that a few hard-working paid people keep the district running, but we rely heavily on dedicated volunteers to truly get our mission done.
Our volunteers are trained to the same high standards as career, paid firefighters, but they're doing it outside of their normal daily activities.
Our volunteers come in all ages and sizes, and from many career fields like construction, corrections, administration, and medical fields.
Here's what going on on Facebook:
It takes good teamwork and communication to raise a ladder quickly and efficiently...and of course that means practice and more practice.

Pedestrian Safety (Part 3 of 4)
Take Action Against Distraction
Teach kids to put phones, headphones and devices down when crossing the street. It is particularly important to reinforce the message with teenagers.
Pull headphones down or turn off the volume before crossing the street.
Be aware of others who may be distracted and speak up when you see someone who is in danger.
If kids need to use a cell phone, teach them to stop walking and find a safe area to talk.
