THE RICE FIRE DEPARTMENT

The Rice Volunteer Fire Department is composed of trained volunteer fire fighters. The fire
department has 7 fire fighting and rescue vehicles with the capacity to pump 2,000 gallons per
minute.

The department currently maintains a classified insurance rating of 5, and is continually upgrading
equipment and skills.

The Rice Fire Department also protects the adjoining Townships of Watab, Langola, and Graham
and has a Mutual Aid Agreement with other surrounding communities for back up fire suppression
and rescue support.

The City of Rice has recently entered an agreement with Gold Cross, and emergency medical
rescue provider. Gold Cross staffs until 1:00 a.m. and houses the rescue vehicle at Rice City
Hall.  This agreement will help provide quicker response to our citizen’s emergency medical
needs.
