Our
Mission:
To care for, protect and serve the citizens of Butler County Fire District # 3.
Butler
County, the largest county in the state of Kansas
geographically with an area of 1,428 sq miles, is served by
a total of nine Butler County Fire Districts, four City Fire
Departments, one Cowley County Fire District, one Consolidated
Fire District and Frontier Refinery Fire Department in El
Dorado.
Butler County Fire District # 3 covers seventy square miles in
southwestern Butler County, serving 8000 citizens in the
rural areas of Pleasant and Richland Townships and the City
of Rose Hill. We have automatic aid agreements with Andover
Fire-Rescue to our north, Butler County Fire District # 8 to our
east and Sedgwick County Fire District # 1 to our west,
which adds 93 automatic aid square miles to our coverage
area.
In an effort to keep service delivery costs within the means
of the community, a twenty-three member volunteer contingent is
utilized. These volunteers are supported by a career staff
of three individuals. The District's organizational philosophy
is one of meeting the District mission by the effective use
of skilled volunteers supported by a career staff. During
weekday business hours, when volunteers are working, at
school, or otherwise not available, the volunteer response
group is supplemented by career staff response. The District
responds in excess of 600 alarms annually.
Our Insurance Service Organization (ISO) ratings are: City
of Rose Hill - ISO rating 6. Outside the City of Rose Hill -
ISO rating 6 or 9/10, depending on your location.
