Today, on National First Responders Day, the Owensville Fire Protection District wants to say one big, heartfelt THANK YOU to the people who show up when others need help most.

To our firefighters, EMS crews, law enforcement officers, dispatchers, and every first responder serving our community: your courage, compassion, long hours, and willingness to answer the call mean more than words can say. You leave your families, step into the unknown, and do whatever it takes to help your neighbors. That kind of service never goes unnoticed.

We’re proud to serve alongside you and grateful for all you do—for Owensville and beyond. Please join us in thanking a first responder today! ❤️🚒🚑🚓

From all of us at OFPD: thank you for answering the call.

Fire hose testing night! We’re making sure every hose is in great shape and free of defects so we’re ready when the tones drop. 🚒

We had quite the crew out, including a few small firefighters in training who got in on the action! Training nights matter: we keep building our skills and checking that our trucks and equipment are ready when our community needs us.

A special thank-you to Owensville Middle School for letting us use your parking lot!

Thanks to everyone who came out and helped!

🚨🚒 OFPD responded to a motor vehicle rollover at the intersection of South Oak Drive and Highway 19.

All occupants were out of the vehicle and in the care of Owensville EMS. They were transported to a local hospital. The Gasconade County Sheriff's Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol, and Missouri Department of Transportation also responded.

Thank you to all personnel who worked together at the scene.

‼️🛑 Emergency scenes can be dangerous, so if you approach one, please slow down, be patient, follow directions, and yield to traffic command so responders have room to work safely.

🔹Please buckle up every time you get in a vehicle, no matter how short the trip. Seat belts help protect you and your passengers in a crash. Make sure everyone is buckled before you travel.

For further information, please refer to the Missouri State Highway Patrol report.
