Introducing the Row River Review & a Letter from our Board President
Published: Wed, 05/28/25
Reta Cochrane would like to fill you in on our logo change and we would also like to introduce you to YOUR local paper.
We’re excited to share some updates from our organization. As many of you know, our nonprofit was originally named Row River Fire Response (RRFR). To better reflect our broader mission and to avoid confusion with the new fire department we have officially changed our name to Row River Valley Community Partnership. (RRVCP)
Our organization remains committed to supporting the Row River Rural Fire Protection District (RRRFPD) by securing funding for vital resources such as fire stations, large
equipment, and other essential needs.
Thanks to a generous private donor, we now have a centrally located property on Row River Road near the Little White Church designated for the district's main Fire station. Several necessary permits and studies for the site have already been
approved.
In addition, we are working on a second property donation in Disston. This site has successfully passed rigorous land use studies and is well-suited for a future secondary
station.
We’re also making strides in wildfire mitigation. Several of our grant applications focused on this critical issue have already been accepted, and we continue to actively pursue additional funding opportunities from both government entities and private
foundations.
Our mission is thriving, and we are grateful for the continued support of this community.
