Welcome to Benton County Fire Protection District #2. The fire district was established in 1949 (April 25, 1949) and operated with the hard work of local citizens to protect other citizens for no reimbursement.  With the help of the Fire Chief at the time, Francis Dovorak, the fire district continued to move forward.  In the year 1959 an ambulance district was created under the same name but would remain separate as far as budget.

The Fire District is a rural Fire District serving the City of Benton City and the surrounding area. We protect approximately 10,000 residents over an 88 square mile area. Our fire district serves and protects our community from two fire stations.
