In 2008 The Three Rivers Fire Department formed a new Rural Fire Protection District. The residents felt the formation of a District was critical since our area was previously “unprotected” and is an extreme risk to fire.

This Fire District is primarily a retirement area consisting of clusters of homes and small businesses near Lake Billy Chinook in Central Oregon. It is comprised of 4 subdivisions, surrounding ranch lots and project lands co-owned by Portland General
Electric and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Over the past 3 decades, many properties owners have moved to the
area and established a retirement residence. The population is for the most part retirement age residents. This growth is
expected to continue as it is an unincorporated Urban Interface, very remote and very desirable.

The Rural Fire Protection District responds to a population of approximately 250 year round residents. Homes range from mobile trailers to multi-million dollar, 6000 sq. ft. homes. A popular year-round destination for camping and water sports, this area swells to over 5000 visitors on any given weekend during the summer. Our Department responds to all calls from the Cove Palisades State Park on the Deshutes arm of Lake Billy Chinook to Green Ridge which is an area of approximately 40 Sq Miles.
