Welcome
Welcome to the Riverwoods Fire District's website . The District was formed officially on August 1, 2013 between the cities of Riverwoods and Johnstown. The District formed out of the fallen River County Alliance. The largest reason for the demise of the Alliance was overuse and abuse of one town's politicians of the mutual aid concept. Aid given was seen as an excuse not to return the favor and let there town's resources dwindle into disrepair, to a point of complete dependence on everyone else for coverage.
The formation of the District was seen as a way to consolidate resources and better provide protection to the citizens of Riverwoods and Johnstown, keeping the alliance mindset and capabilities, but on a smaller level. The district was also seen as a way to lower the number of administrators required to run fire, ems and rescue services to the citizens.
