The stimulus for recruitment has been, and will continue to be, the combination of training and the department's active involvement in the community.

The Brookings Fire Department provides response for fire, motor vehicle accidents-jaws of life/extrication, emergency medical and public service assistance within our response area, defined as the City of Brookings and, by contract, the Brookings Rural Fire Protection District and the Upper Chetco Volunteer Fire Protection District. The Department also provides fire life safety inspections, public education and prevention programs in the City of Brookings.
