RRV Program- Under the direction of the Corvallis Fire Department

The purpose of the Rural Resident Volunteer(RRV) program is to provide an educational setting for people who want to become fire fighters and/or EMTs. RRVs, along with Civilian Volunteers and a CFD Lieutenant, maintain the Locke Fire Station. For the RRVs, it is their primary residence as they attend college and train to be firefighters and apparatus operators.

Station Lt. & Rural Resident Volunteers

Locke Fire Station is manned by a Lieutenant from the Corvallis Fire Department and staffed by up to twelve Rural Resident Volunteer firefighters who live at the station and provide emergency services in exchange for lodging and an opportunity to be trained by the Corvallis Fire Department. These individuals are also eligible for college scholarships provided by the CRFPD.
