Leadership...
Fire Chief - Greg Davis
When asked; How important is it to care for our personnel, Chief Davis responds...
"We continue to invest efforts in fostering, developing and improving a healthy department culture focused on mental, emotional and physical health. First responders often encounter traumatic events and life-threatening situations as they perform their job. Because these events can take a toll, we recognize how critical it is for our teammates to have multiple resources that are readily accessible during their time of need. KCFD1 believes in a culture that supports one another and thrives in our profession."
Director of Administrative Services - Phil Hull
When asked; What makes Klamath Falls unique, Phil Hull responds...
"Klamath Falls is unique for a variety of reasons. It seems to be somewhat isolated; a small town in eastern Oregon, with an abundance of natural beauty in and around it, but it is also within a six hour drive to both Portland and San Francisco.
Klamath Falls is the county seat to Klamath County, which is home to Crater Lake, Oregon’s only National Park.
Unlike many small towns of similar population, Klamath Falls boasts two colleges, two performing arts theaters and three golf courses, one of which is an Arnold Palmer designed course.
Another attribute that makes Klamath Falls unique, is that it lies within a Known Geothermal Resource Area (KGRA), with many homes, businesses and institutions using geothermal heat."
Administrative Staff
Administrative staff is also tasked with coordinating station tours and engine visits, KCFD1 attendance at Third Thursday, Fire Prevention Week activities, assisting the Fire Prevention Co-op at the Klamath County Fair, planning in-house pinning/promotion ceremonies, organizing the District’s annual Employee Appreciation Dinner, organizing and helping at assessment centers and job fairs. Where there is a community event involving the District, the administrative staff is there organizing, helping behind the scenes, and participating along with fire and EMS crews.
