MISSION STATEMENT
The Rochester Fire Protection District exists to meet the needs created by a wide variety of crisis situations that demand a quick, efficient, and professional emergency response.





We strive to provide the highest quality service while maximizing the productivity of our staff and reducing costs whenever possible.  We will do as much as we can within the limitations of our resources to protect lives and property and limit the degree of human suffering when called to emergencies.

It is through our prevention, education, and training efforts that we strive to prevent, prepare for, or otherwise limit the extent of any fire or other emergency.
