ROGERS FIRE & RESCUE
Patrick Farrens Jr.
Fire Chief
The Rogers Fire Department is a proud department serving the communities of Rogers, Corcoran, and Otsego. With 6 full-time staff, 45 paid-on-call firefighters, and two station locations, our team responds to more than 1,200 calls each year.
We Provide:
Fire suppression
Emergency medical services (EMS)
Hazardous materials response
Vehicle extrication
Ice and water rescue
Our firefighters are community members first. Most of our paid-on-call members work full-time careers in fields such as IT, finance, construction, military service, healthcare, and more — and respond when available to serve their neighbors.
If you’re looking for meaningful service, hands-on training, and the opportunity to be part of a tight-knit team, we invite you to apply.
Paid-on-call firefighters are alerted to incidents via pager dispatch and respond to their assigned station when available. This model allows dedicated residents and professionals to serve their community while maintaining full-time careers.
It’s challenging. It’s rewarding. And it makes a real impact.
