Having high blood pressure puts you at increased risk for heart disease and stroke, which are leading causes of death in the United States. Nearly half of adults have blood pressure that is considered high.
In an effort to help our citizens to improve their health, the Scio Fire District is now offering free blood pressure checks at the main fire station in Scio Monday through Friday, 8am-4pm. No appointment is necessary and we have cards to record your blood pressure on so that you can show your doctor.

-Never leave your fire unattended.
-
-Have a way to call 911.
-
-Never burn trash.
-
-Call the burn line each day you plan on burning. The burn line is updated by 9am every day. Burning can be intermittently suspended depending on atmospheric conditions. That information will be found on the burn line at (541) 451-1904.

Smoke Detectors-
"Smoke detectors, a homeowners best friend".
Thanks to a grant from the Oregon State Fire Marshal, the Scio Fire District will now be offering FREE smoke detectors and will install them for you as well. These free smoke detectors are available for citizens who live in the Scio Fire District's response area, own their home, and are elderly, low income, and/or disabled. To apply or free smoke detectors, fill out and submit this form:​
​
Why are smoke detectors so important? Approximately 80% of home fire deaths occur in homes with no working smoke detectors. Your risk of dying in a house fire is cut in half if your house has working smoke detectors.
The fire district is handing out free address signs. Due to limited supplies, we are only making one sign per address. To request your free address sign, click the envelope below.
