Eastern Prairie Fire Protection District

About Me

The Eastern Prairie Fire Protection District was established on 23 February 1962. The District began serving the public on 22 March 1961 as the former Wilber Heights Volunteer Fire Department which is a small residential area that spawned from industry in northern Champaign. Since that time, E.P.F.P.D. has operated under the direction of 5 department chiefs: Donald Willard 1962-1963, Emil C. Kucera 1963-1981, Don H. Roderick 1981-1989, Frank C. Davis 1989-2004, and Mike Kobel 2004-Present. To date, the department serves an area of approximatley 8 square miles and a population of nearly 10,000 residents. Currently, the department has 24 members.
