Our Mission
"The mission of the Rossland Fire Department is to serve and protect the residents and community of Rossland, the environment and property, by providing prompt efficient and cost effective fire protection, suppression, education and life safety services." In 2000 the Rossland Fire department responded to 98 calls, 30% of which were medical emergencies. |

Dedicated to the Cause...
Ever wonder what motivates a person to become a fire-fighter? It's a selfless act of courage, a need to give something back to community and a desire to help those who need help. What else would motivate someone to get up at 3:00 am to go out in a blizzard in full turn out gear to respond to an emergency? Most fire-fighters would say that what they do is no big deal, but what they are actually saying is that there is nothing in the world they'd rather be doing than protecting the lives and safety of others.
