Philomath Fire & Rescue (Oregon)

Philomath Fire & Rescue protects the City of Philomath and surrounding areas in Benton County, Oregon. It is a combination department utilizing mostly volunteer staffing to provide fire, rescue and emergency medical service to the Philomath Fire District.

Fire protection in Philomath was provided by citizens using bucket brigades until the purchase of a hand-drawn hosewagon in 1906. The Philomath Fire Department was founded by volunteers in 1930, purchasing their first motorized engine by popular subscription. PFR still owns both these apparatus.
