Item 7.6 RFD Annual ReportMission Statement To serve the community by extinguishing fires, responding to medical emergencies, fire prevention and minimize loss of life and property. We will achieve this through training, education, and teamwork among our members. Our highlights for 2022 include our New Engine 21 that was delivered to Station 2 in March of 2022, our working relationship with Wold Architects on space needs, floor drawings and building elevations for New Station 2 to be located in the northwest corner of 141st Avenue and Northdale Blvd., and improvements to our Fire Prevention program. Our RFD Members go above and beyond in caring for our customers, while displaying respect and integrity. Our call volume increased in 2022. We ended 2022 with 776 calls for service and emergency responses, up 12% from 2021. 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.
