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 operates from its headquarters in the City of Oregon and is governed by a three-member Board of Trustees appointed by the Ogle County Board. Public board meetings are held at 6:00 PM on the second Wednesday of each month at the OFPD Administrative Services Building, 106 S. First Street, Oregon, IL 61061.

The district employs nine full-time and 14 paid on-call members, responding to fire, rescue, and emergency medical calls. Advanced Life Support Emergency Medical Services are provided by licensed paramedics 24/7 from our headquarters. In the current fiscal year, the district expects to respond to approximately 1,200 calls, with over 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 Fire Protection Districts. This partnership enables mutual aid for large-scale incidents and specialized rescue operations, ensuring additional resources and manpower when needed. In turn, OFPD provides support to neighboring agencies under the same agreement.
