Edgeley's Shield. North Dakota's Pride. Our community has stood together for over 70 years — volunteers answering the call, day and night, to protect the people and farmland we call home.

Neighbors Protecting Neighbors Since 1952

Edgeley Rural Fire Department was founded by residents who understood that in rural North Dakota, help doesn't always arrive in time — unless you build it yourself. Today, we are a fully volunteer department serving the unincorporated communities surrounding Edgeley and the broader Richland County area.

Our crew responds to structure fires, vehicle collisions, medical emergencies, hazardous material calls, and search-and-rescue operations across a wide rural service district. Every member trains regularly, maintains their apparatus, and answers the alarm because this is their home too.
