About Us

Welcome to the Rockford Fire Department (RFD), where community dedication and unwavering service meet to keep Rockford, MN, safe and secure. Our department is a proud volunteer-based organization that operates under the auspices of the city of Rockford.

At RFD, we have a dynamic team of up to thirty-three full members who serve in paid-on-call positions, alongside ten reserve members who contribute their time and expertise on a purely volunteer basis. This blend of paid and volunteer personnel ensures that we have the resources and flexibility to respond effectively to emergencies around the clock.

Our firefighters undergo rigorous training and continual professional development to maintain the highest standards of safety and preparedness. Whether it’s responding to a fire, a medical emergency, or a community event, our team is committed to delivering exceptional service with compassion and professionalism.

At the core of our mission is a deep-rooted commitment to protecting life, property, and the environment. We take pride in being an integral part of the Rockford community, and we strive to foster strong relationships with the residents we serve.

Thank you for your support and trust in the Rockford Fire Department. Together, we are dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of our community.

RFD serves not only the city of Rockford, but the greater surrounding area of Rockford Township and Greenfield.
