Drakes Crossing Fire District is located in the eastern Willamette Valley, 20 miles east of Salem. Our district covers
land between Silverton and Sublimity on Highway 214, on the Silverton side of Silver Falls State Park. We also provide coverage
for Silver Falls State Park and Longview Fiber even though they are not part of our district. We serve a residential population
of 800 across 25 square miles and also cover over 1 million people who pass through Silver Falls State Park each year. Contrary
to popular belief, we are not a Fire Department; we are a Fire District because we are run by a five person Board of Directors,
not a city council like a true "department".
The mission of the Drakes Crossing Rural Fire Protection District is to provide fire and life safety
services to the community we protect.
