OREGON FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT

What OREGON FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT does

The Oregon Fire Protection District (OFPD) is a local government fire protection district in Illinois, governed by a three-member Board of Trustees appointed by the Ogle County Board. It provides fire suppression, rescue, and Advanced Life Support emergency medical services to approximately 9,600 residents across more than 120 square miles of Central Ogle County, including the City of Oregon, Villages of Chana, Payne's Point, and Daysville, and several townships, plus three state parks and youth/church camps. The district is staffed by one full-time Fire Chief, nine full-time members, and 15 paid-on-call members, with 24/7 ALS coverage delivered by licensed paramedics based at headquarters; it anticipates roughly 1,200 responses in the current fiscal year, more than 900 of which are EMS calls. OFPD operates a fleet that includes two Horton ambulances (Medic 31 and Medic 53), an American LaFrance aerial, Toyne engine and pumper/tender, brush trucks, and command vehicles, and is an active member of MABAS Division 18 for mutual aid.

OFPD's revenue model is built on two primary streams: recurring property tax assessments collected from residents within the district boundaries, and transaction-based ambulance billing routed through third-party processor EMS|MC (with customer service at 1-800-814-5339). Community-facing add-on programs — CPR/First Aid certification courses, child car seat safety checks, smoke and CO detector inspections (grant-funded), and fire code inspections under the International Fire Code (2015), International Residential Code, International Building Code, and NFPA 101 — generate nominal fee revenue and serve as community engagement vehicles. The district also accepts donations via a Square payment link.

The go-to-market is community-led and direct: services are delivered through 911 emergency response, walk-in requests at fire stations, the Administrative Services Building, and on-demand program requests via the oregonfpd.org website. Public board meetings held monthly, FOIA compliance, and transparent agenda/minutes publications serve as accountability mechanisms to the taxpayer base. There is no venture, PE, or public-market ownership — OFPD is a municipally governed entity funded and overseen at the county level.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• American Medical Response (AMR): Largest private ambulance and EMS provider in the United States. Comparable as a high-volume EMS operator, and the kind of organization that competes for ambulance billing contracts in Illinois — directly relevant to OFPD's EMS|MC-billed ambulance revenue stream.
• Falck USA: International ambulance and emergency services operator with U.S. public-sector contracts. Comparable as a contracted EMS provider and a competitive benchmark for ALS response quality and billing economics.
• Global Medical Response: Parent of multiple EMS, fire, and air-medical brands delivering emergency response across the U.S. Comparable as a scaled incumbent offering the integrated fire/EMS service model OFPD operates, and a potential consolidator in adjacent markets.

Direct peers

• Byron Fire Protection District: Neighboring fire protection district within Ogle County, Illinois. Directly comparable in governance structure (Illinois FPD), funding model (property tax + ambulance billing), and rural/suburban service profile, and a MABAS Division 18 mutual-aid partner.
• Stillman Valley Fire Protection District: Ogle County-adjacent fire protection district providing fire and EMS response to a similar small-population footprint. Comparable in staffing structure and service mix, and a likely MABAS mutual-aid counterpart.
• Polo Fire Protection District: Another Ogle County, Illinois fire protection district of similar size. Comparable statutory framework, mix of full-time and paid-on-call staffing, and reliance on property taxes, making it a near-identical operating peer.
• Mount Morris Fire Protection District: Small rural Illinois fire protection district covering a township-scale population. Directly comparable in scope of services (fire suppression, EMS, fire inspections) and dependence on a narrow tax base.
• Win-Bur-Sew Fire Protection District: Multi-township Illinois fire protection district providing combined fire and EMS service to a comparable small-population footprint. Useful peer for benchmarking volunteer-to-full-time staffing ratios and apparatus replacement cycles.
• Cherry Valley Fire Protection District: Northern Illinois fire protection district (Winnebago County) providing fire, rescue, and EMS under the same Illinois FPD statutory model. Comparable governance, revenue mix, and small-district operational profile.

Regional players

• Rockford Fire Department: Career municipal fire department serving the larger Rockford metro adjacent to Ogle County. Provides a regional comparison point for staffing scale, apparatus fleet, and EMS call volume, though it operates in a fully urban context.
