The Colestin Rural Fire District is no longer operational. As a courtesy to our local community, this website will continue to be maintained on a limited basis and for a limited period of time; however, we are no longer liable for responding to fire calls, medical calls, or any other emergencies. We have not yet been annexed into Jackson County Fire District 5, although we will have their support during fire season, so at this time, District 5 is not primarily responsible for responses within our district. Instead, all calls should be directed to 9-1-1. The appropriate resources will be dispatched accordingly, and as they are available.

2003:  The 2003 Fire Season (chronology)


Our files of fire-related news articles and fire season histories go back to 1981, following the Colestin Fire on August 10th of that year. The Colestin Fire consumed over 700 acres in the heart of the Colestin valley, prompting the formation of the Colestin Rural Fire District, officially mandated by Jackson County on August 24th, 1983.

As time permits, we will add more previous fire season summary logs to our online archives.
