Fire Chief Brent Knutson

At Klamath County Fire District 1, we are proud of the service we provide but even more proud of the people who provide it.

Every year, our personnel respond to thousands of calls for service across our community. Whether it’s delivering advanced emergency medical care, responding to structure and wildland fires, or assisting someone in need, our team consistently performs at a high level with professionalism, skill, and compassion.


What truly makes KCFD1 special is our culture.


We have built an organization where teamwork, accountability, and pride in the job are not just expectations, they are the standard. Our members support one another, take ownership of their responsibilities, and are always looking for ways to improve. This culture has created a strong, unified team and a sense of family that is committed to excellence in everything we do.


We are also proud to be a leader in emergency medical services in our region. Our EMS system is a cornerstone of our organization, and our personnel deliver high-quality care to the citizens and visitors we serve every single day.


KCFD1 is an organization that values its history, embraces innovation, and is focused on the future. We are committed to investing in our people, improving our services, and continuing to meet the evolving needs of our community.


It is an honor to serve as Fire Chief of this outstanding organization and to work alongside the dedicated professionals who make KCFD1 what it is today.
