From the District web page:

LaPine Fire District has a long tradition of volunteer service. Although a rash of fires marred the early history of La Pine, there was no official firefighting organization until June 1968 when the La Pine Volunteer Fire Association was formed. La Pine Volunteer Fire Association remained all volunteer until 1974.

The La Pine Rural Fire Protection District was formed, by order of the Board of Commissioners of Deschutes County on May 12, 1971. Prior to that time, the La Pine Rural Fire Protection Association provided fire protection to the community of La Pine.

The La Pine Rural Fire Protection District is bordered on the North by the community of Sunriver and receives mutual aid protection from the Sunriver Fire Department. It is bordered on the East by US Forest and BLM lands generally following the gas line from North to South. The Fire District is bordered on the South by Klamath County with Old Howard Estates and Wagon Trail Ranch of Klamath County included. It is bordered on the West by US Forest and BLM lands generally following the lines of demarcation of the inhabited and uninhabited lands (from about three to seven miles for the Eastern boarder). The Fire District covers about 115 square miles of area.
