The Scottsbluff Rural Fire Protection District covers 280 square miles. Scottsbluff Rural Fire Protection District is made up of two entities.

They are The Rural Fire Board ,and The Rural Fire Association (firefighters and other volunteers, self governing assembly). Who's primary function is fire suppression and public safety.Currently we have 25 active volunteer firefighters and are always looking for others who would like to help their community. We also have many individuals who volunteer in non-firefighting functions, such as fund raising and various other things going on around the fire house. If you would like to know more, stop by our station on Saturdays from 9-12 and talk to any officer or firefighter if you have any questions about how you can help!

We have been SO busy we are a little behind filling you in on what we have been doing!
Tuesday we had an exciting day filled with 5th graders at the NRD!
It’s always so much fun to be able to interact with all of them, teach them about water safety, fire safety, let them spray the fire hose and see all their smiling faces!

On Sept. 17, 2026 at approximately 12:30pm, Scottsbluff Rural Fire Department was dispatched to the area of Highway 92 and County Road 19 for a grass fire. A burn permit had been issued for this area earlier in the day.
Upon the Fire Chief’s arrival, multiple burns were being conducted of heavy fuels. Heavy smoke was filling a residential area. The landowner was advised to bury all burning material with the backhoe on site.
While burning can be a useful tool, it must also be done in a safe manner.

Three units and 8 personnel cleared around 13:30pm.
