Law Enforcement & Fire/EMS Services
Although the City of Westfir is an incorporated city, maintaining our own police and fire department is prohibitively expensive. We have several agencies that work together to keep Westfir safe and provide emergency services.
The following agencies provide local law enforcement, fire and EMS services to our area:
The City of Oakridge Police Department (OPD)
The City of Westfir contracts with the OPD on a fiscal year basis to provide incident response and emergency services. For information on services and cost to the City of Westfir, please see our Police Intergovernmental Agreement FY24–25. For more information on the OPD, please contact the City of Oakridge at www.ci.oakridge.or.us.
The City of Oakridge Fire Department (OFD)
The City of Westfir contracts with the OFD on a fiscal year basis to provide fire and EMS services. Annual cost varies from year to year. For more information on services and cost to the City of Westfir, please see our Fire Intergovernmental Agreement FY24–25.
