Welcome to the Official Website of The Oregon Fire Protection District

The Oregon Fire Protection District (OFPD) is dedicated to protecting the lives and property of residents, stakeholders, and visitors across more than 120 square miles of Central Ogle County, Illinois. Serving a population of approximately 9,600, the district covers incorporated and unincorporated areas, including the City of Oregon, Villages of Chana, Payne’s Point, and Daysville, as well as Marion, Nashua-Oregon, Pine Rock, White Rock, Rockvale, and Taylor Townships. Additionally, the district provides emergency services to three state parks—Castle Rock, Lowden, and Lowden Miller State Forest—and numerous youth and church camps. The Rock River divides the district into nearly two equal parts, connected via Illinois Route 64 in Oregon, Illinois.

OFPD is governed by a three-member Board of Trustees appointed by the Ogle County Board. Public board meetings are held at 2:00 PM on the second Wednesday of each month at the Administrative Services Building, 106 S. First Street, Oregon, IL. Pension Board meetings are held quarterly at 1:30 PM on the second Wednesday of March, June, September, and December at the same location.

OFPD employs a full-time Fire Chief, nine full-time and 15 paid on-call members who respond to fire, rescue, and emergency medical calls. Advanced Life Support services are provided 24/7 by licensed paramedics based at our headquarters. In the current fiscal year, the district anticipates approximately 1,200 responses, with more than 900 of these being Emergency Medical Services requests.

OFPD is an active member of MABAS Division 18, a cooperative agreement among Ogle County fire departments and protection districts. Through this partnership, the district receives mutual aid for large-scale incidents and specialized rescue operations, while also providing support to neighboring agencies when needed.
