Marion County Fire District No. 1 is seeking a Deputy Chief for Oregon's largest combination fire district, located near Salem, about 45 miles south of Portland. The Willamette Valley region is known for its agricultural beauty, quaint small towns, distinct four seasons, and easy access to year-round outdoor recreation from the Cascade Mountains to Pacific Coast beaches.
MARION COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT NO. 1
Marion County Fire District No. 1 is a full-service fire and EMS agency serving a population of over 60,000 residents across 88 square miles that includes the communities of Four Corners, Middle Grove, Pratum, Macleay, Brooks, Clear Lake, Lake Labish, and Chemeketa. The District operates from 8 stations with a staffing of 78 FTEs and a volunteer force of 45. EMS services are supported by 40 paramedics and 54 EMTs who staff ALS transport ambulances and fire engines. The District responds to approximately 11,000 calls annually.
WHY APPLY
Marion County Fire District 1 offers a rare opportunity for a driven, community-centered leader to serve as the #2 executive in a complex and evolving combination fire district. MCFD1 protects a uniquely diverse risk environment-urban, suburban, rural, rail, river, wildland, and critical infrastructure-while maintaining deep community roots and a proud tradition of service. With a supportive board, strong labor relationships, new executive leadership in training and EMS, and increasing regional collaboration with the cities of Salem and Keizer, the District is positioned for meaningful progress. This role is ideal for a Deputy Fire Chief who is hungry to lead, committed to people, and ready to help shape the future of a growing organization.
