Welcome to Kootenai County Fire & Rescue (KCFR). KCFR has approximately 100 career and reserve firefighters and support personnel who are dedicated to the citizens and visitors of Kootenai County. The office staff and field personnel who serve with KCFR are dedicated to the protection of life and property. Working together as a team, we provide quality service and believe strongly in professionalism, collaboration, and accountability. A key strategy for the District is to prevent fires and other incidents through engineering, education, and action; while remaining prepared for many types of emergencies that could happen in our community.

KCFR works with other key organizations to provide our core fire services; fire suppression and rescue, emergency medical services, fire prevention, public education, hazardous materials response, and technical rescue services such as water and ice rescue along the lakes and rivers we serve. Key partners in the delivery of fire services include other Fire Districts and Fire Departments in Kootenai County and Spokane County, Kootenai County Emergency Medical Services System (KCEMSS), the Cities of Post Falls, Dalton Gardens, Stateline Village, Fernan Lake Village, and Huetter. The District works closely with Post Falls Police Department and the Kootenai County Sheriff.

We are always interested in feedback from our constituents. In the coming months, we will be working to bring you an on-line survey where you can share your thoughts on our services.  Watch our website for more information.
