Our highest call.
The Eastern Prairie Fire Protection District (EPFPD) proudly serves the unincorporated neighborhoods and rural areas surrounding Champaign and Urbana. While we do not operate within the city limits, our district plays a vital role in the greater Champaign-Urbana region. These communities, often overlooked, are home to residents who depend on us as their first line of defense in emergencies.
Our district includes a diverse mix of neighborhoods, farmland, and businesses, each with unique needs. Whether responding to a structure fire, providing emergency medical services, or assisting in severe weather events, EPFPD is committed to protecting the lives and property of everyone we serve.
For over 50 years, we have been honored to provide trusted service to this area. Serving these unincorporated communities is more than a responsibility—it’s a source of pride for every member of our department. We are dedicated to building strong connections, offering professional care, and ensuring the safety and well-being of our district’s residents.
