With the growth of the response district over the past few years MRFD responds to 950 emergency services request annually. As a Rural Fire District MRFD is a “special taxing district” in the state of Idaho, fire districts are governed by an elected Board of Commissioners. The district receives a portion of the taxes collected by the county to be used to finance the district’s operations. As a result, there is no further cost to our resident for any emergency services provided by MRFD. (excluding permits and inspection fees)
