Fire District #1
Show All Answers
1.
How can I become a volunteer firefighter?
Applications can be obtained from the Riley County Fire District #1 office located at 115 N 4th Street in Manhattan or you can download an
application
2.
What are the requirements for filling out an application for becoming a member of the Riley County Fire District #1?
You must be 18 years old, and have a Kansas Driver’s license.
3.
I am in the military and have a driver’s license from another state. Can I be a volunteer fire fighter?
Yes, you will need to acquire proof that your drivers license is valid in the state it was issued. It is a requirement of our insurance carrier that all firefighters operating county owned equipment have a valid license.
4.
What is the volunteer fire fighter application process?
After someone has filled out an application, an interview will be held, and if offered a conditional position and station assignment, the applicant will be required to take a pre-employment drug test. Once the drug tests results are determined, successful applicants will receive station orientation by station officers and begin training.
5.
How do I find out my fire insurance rating?
Your insurance company is the one that determines the insurance rating (sometimes referred to as ISO rating) for all properties.
Normally, if a property is within 5 road miles of a fire station that meets the ISO rating system, that property is rated lower than a “10”. A “10” rating indicates a lack of adequate fire protection that could respond in a timely fashion. Most properties in the county are rated a “9” and properties within 1000’ of a municipal fire hydrant are generally rated a “7/9”.

shows most of the rural residences and their proximity to the nearest fire station using all-weather roads.
Disclaimer: The information contained on this map was derived using road records showing “approved” surface types for Emergency Response purposes and their traversable distance from a rural fire station. Roads designated as “trail”, “undeveloped” or “unimproved” are not considered approved surface types. No guarantee is given as to the accuracy of the depicted surface type of a road. If you have questions about an ISO rating, please contact your insurance provider.
