Assistance with critical home repairs that affect fire safety, including electrical system upgrades, heating equipment maintenance, and structural safety improvements.
Help families and businesses develop comprehensive emergency action plans, including escape routes, meeting points, and communication strategies for fire and disaster scenarios.
For generations, the Rutland Fire District has stood as a steadfast guardian of the Felts Mills community. What began as a small volunteer effort has grown into a professional, well-equipped fire protection agency serving thousands of residents across Rutland Township.
Our team is composed of dedicated firefighters, emergency responders, and safety professionals who live and work in the communities they protect. We understand the unique challenges of rural fire protection — from long response distances to seasonal wildfire risks — and we prepare for them every day.
We go beyond emergency response. Our community engagement programs build resilience and preparedness from the ground up.
We visit local schools to teach children about fire safety, the importance of smoke detectors, and how to react during a fire emergency. Knowledge saved lives — and we start early.
Our senior outreach program provides free safety assessments for elderly residents, including smoke detector installation, escape plan development, and hazard identification in the home.
Living in a rural area means managing wildfire risk. We offer defensible space assessments, brush clearance guidance, and seasonal preparedness briefings for our community members.
We regularly host open house events where community members can tour our stations, meet our firefighters, learn about our equipment, and ask questions about fire safety and emergency preparedness.
Whether you need a fire safety inspection, want to schedule a smoke detector installation, or simply have questions about emergency preparedness — we're here for you. Reach out today.
