Klamath River Hose Company

The Klamath River Hose Company dba Klamath River Volunteer Fire Company was founded on April 1, 1985. We provide professional emergency services, both medical and fire, to residents of Klamath River, Horse Creek, Scott Bar, Hamburg, Beaver Creek, and all points east to the junction of highways 96 and 263.

Every firefighter volunteers their time to train, protect, and serve the community. The Board of Directors and Auxiliary are also volunteers providing financial guidance and fundraising support.

The primary job of firefighters is to keep people in emergency situations safe. This often includes rescuing them or their property from fires (structure and/or wildland), helping with medical emergencies or traffic collisions. We have the opportunity to help our community during the most challenging part of their lives in emergency situations. Along the Klamath River corridor over the last several years we have seen a lot of wildland fire devastation, hitting our communities hard. It is in these times that we see everyone come together, to support one another, to help rebuild our communities. 

The KRVFC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and donation-dependent Fire Company. We rely on the generosity of donations from our community as well as fundraising activities, merchandise sales, and work contracts such as parking lot staff at the Siskiyou Golden Fairgrounds. We have also received grants in past years from the Volunteer Fire Assistance program through the USFS to help purchase firefighter and vehicle equipment.
