Southwestern Polk County Rural Fire Protection District

Southwestern Polk County Rural Fire Protection District, doing business as SW Polk Fire District, is a local government-owned entity located in Dallas, Oregon, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since August 15, 2005. As a U.S. local government and not-for-profit organization, the district serves its community through fire protection and emergency services. The organization is specifically focused on providing critical public safety infrastructure and support, with a primary mission of protecting lives and property in the Southwestern Polk County region through emergency response, fire prevention, and related protective services.

The district has been the recipient of multiple federal grant awards, primarily from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Interior. In July 2024, the organization was awarded a $253,047.12 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) under CFDA 97.044, which supports the procurement of critical equipment, training, and facility modifications over a 24-month performance period. Additionally, in September 2025, the district received a grant from the Department of Interior's Office of Wildland Fire for SLIP-ON TANKER UNITS. The organization has also engaged in sub-grant awards with the Oregon Military Department, though the specific details of these sub-awards appear to be related to technical domain migration processes. These federal grants demonstrate the district's ongoing efforts to enhance fire safety, upgrade equipment, and improve emergency response capabilities through strategic federal funding opportunities.
