Yep. My grandfather also lived in a RFD. As in Mayberry RFD. Rural Fire District.

While he may have been in a fire district (or fire protection district), "RFD" means Rural Free Delivery, a Post Office term when your ZIP code is EIEIO.
I thought RFD meant Rural Free Delivery ?

Nope. RFD stands for Rural Free Delivery. Until that, you would have to go into town to pick up your mail from General Delivery. Or pay a private carrier to bring it, I guess. But after RFD was passed, everyone became entitled to have they mail brung no matter HOW far out in the country they lived.
