MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF
On behalf of the members of the Rogers Fire Department
(RFD), I am honored to present our Annual Report for 2021.
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. During the COVID Pandemic our
members were able to continue to provide care, while following safety protocols.
Our highlights for 2021 include the design/build of New Engine 21 with delivery
scheduled for March of 2022, the purchase of land for New Station 2,
improvements to our Fire Prevention program, increase in plan review and
inspections of commercial and residential properties, and conducting in person
training with smaller groups to limit COVID exposure.
Our RFD Members go above and beyond in caring for our customers, while
displaying respect and integrity.
Our call volume increased in 2021. We ended 2021 with 692 calls for service
and emergency responses, up 22% from 2020 and the highest we’ve ever seen.
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
