About UsOur Mission The Minot Rural Fire Department will provide superior service to the patrons of the Minot Rural Fire Protection District in an effort to protect their lives, property, and environment. The members of the Department will accomplish the mission through fire suppression, fire prevention, public education, emergency response, and non-emergency response. The Department will maintain the highest level of readiness enabling delivery of fire fighting and emergency rescue services in a safe, competent, and caring manner. The Minot Rural Fire Department is a volunteer organization governed by the Minot Rural Fire Protection District Board of Directors. The Fire Department has a paid Fire Chief and 4 full-time firefighters/inspectors. We also have a roster of up to 35 volunteer firefighters and 3 dispatchers. The Fire Department has its own executive board comprised of active member firefighters. There are committees that work on projects within the fire dept that report to the fire dept. board at regular monthly meetings. We utilize a two way VHF radio and paging system through our repeater and tower, and we are initially dispatched by Minot Central Dispatch. Our dispatchers also respond to calls and relieve Minot Central Dispatch by manning our base station located within the Minot Rural Fire Department. We respond to structure fires, wildland/grass fires, vehicle accidents, hazardous materials incidents and various service calls. The Department holds two monthly trainings on the second and last Wednesday of each month. We also conduct a business meeting every month which is held prior to the last Wednesday training.
