As a state and county recognized volunteer fire district, Smiley Creek Rural Fire District can accept tax exempt donations. As our community grows, our goal is ensure this fire district will always have the equipment, safety attire, training and development needed to protect the community residents and visitors. Funds collected will be used to maintain & purchase vital equipment, protective gear and develop training programs for volunteers to better manage emergencies such as the Ross Fork fire.
In the wake of the Ross Fork Fires in Smiley Creek, Sawtooth City and the surrounding areas, it has become apparent there is a great need for updated equipment, support and volunteer development of the Smiley Creek Rural Protection Fire District to meet the public safety needs of this growing community. Thank you for your support.
