BUILDING STRONGER COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS, THANKS TO SDAO!
At Crooked River Ranch Fire & Rescue, keeping our community informed, educated, and connected is an important part of what we do. Thanks to funding from the Special Districts Association of Oregon (SDAO) Internship Grant Program, we've been able to expand our communication and outreach efforts!

This grant made it possible to introduce a Marketing & Communications Internship, creating an opportunity to strengthen our public outreach while showcasing the people and work behind our department.
Throughout the internship, we've been able to focus on several key areas:
📱 Digital Outreach: Creating engaging social media content, sharing department updates, and increasing our online presence.
🔥 Community Education: Developing resources and campaigns covering fire prevention, emergency preparedness, burn registration, and other important safety topics.
🚒 Behind the Scenes: Giving our community a closer look at firefighter training, emergency responses, and daily operations through photography and video.
👨🚒 Recruitment & Recognition: Sharing the stories of our firefighters and volunteers while encouraging others to get involved.
🤝 Community Involvement: Highlighting local events and department initiatives.
Beyond the content created, this internship has helped strengthen how we communicate with our community and share the dedication that goes into serving Crooked River Ranch.
Programs like the SDAO Internship Grant make a meaningful difference for smaller districts, providing opportunities to take on projects and initiatives that might otherwise be difficult to accomplish.
To the Special Districts Association of Oregon, thank you for making this opportunity possible and for supporting the continued growth of Crooked River Ranch Fire & Rescue!
