MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF
On behalf of the members of the Rogers Fire Department
(RFD), I am honored to present our Annual Report for 2020.
This report illustrates our commitment to the residents,
businesses, and visitors of our community and it highlights
the exceptional work accomplished by our fire operations,
EMS, fire prevention and administrative staff.
I am extremely proud of our Fire Department, and the high -level of quality
service that we provide on a daily basis. Most notably, our Members ability to
continue to provide care during the COVID Pandemic, while remaining safe with
new protocols for FIRE/EMS response.
Our RFD Members go above and beyond in caring for our customers, while
displaying respect and integrity.
Even though the State had multiple shut downs due to COVID19, our call volume
did not decline. We ended 2020 with 569 calls for service and emergency
responses, up 10% from 2019. As fire departments struggle to recruit new
members, Rogers Fire Department staff continue to develop new strategies in
recruitment and retention of paid on-call firefighters.
I would like to thank all of the RFD members for their professionalism and
commitment at each level of our Department.
Respectfully Submitted,
Chief Brad Feist
