The mission of the Forest Fire & Rescue is to provide superior service to the people in the Forest Fire Protection District to protect their lives, property and environment. The members of the department will accomplish the mission through fire suppression, fire prevention, public education, emergency response and non-emergency response. The department will maintain the highest level of readiness, enabling delivery of firefighting and emergency rescue services in a safe, competent, and caring manner. The members will act in an ethical manner with integrity.

The members of the Forest Fire & Rescue District are a diverse group joined together in a common cause, providing a valued and outstanding service to Forest's rural community. Keep in mind, every member's personal conduct and behavior reflect on the department as a whole. It takes only one thoughtless, careless or selfish act to destroy the excellent reputation established through many years of dedication and hard work. Each of us is ultimately responsible for our decisions.
