Professional Firefighters in the Mehlville Community Since 1953 District boundaries were laid out to cover 47 square miles in South St. Louis County.
The volunteer firefighters proposed and organized a fire district in 1953, thereby having the power to collect taxes to support department operations. By the end of 1953, the voters of the area approved the incorporation of the Mehlville Fire Protection District (MFPD) and elected three directors. In 1969, forty-one firefighters joined together and petitioned the International Association of Fire

Today we remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Their courage gave us the freedoms we enjoy, the moments we share with family, and the lives we sometimes take for granted.
This Memorial Day, we honor the fallen, stand with their families, and remain forever grateful for their sacrifice. 🇺🇸

Several of our shop members were recognized this week at the fire district board meeting for a clinical save.
Through their efforts, a patient in cardiac arrest was successfully resuscitated and ultimately left the hospital neurologically intact and on their own two feet — the best possible outcome.
Keep up the great work, guys and gals!

Last week, our shop was recognized at the MDA Boot Camp in Omaha, Nebraska for our fundraising efforts toward such a meaningful cause. While we weren’t able to attend the event in person, we were honored yesterday when our MDA Account Manager stopped by the firehouse to present us with the award.
We want to sincerely thank our community for helping us get back on the board and supporting our collection efforts. Your generosity makes a real difference.
We’re looking forward to getting back out into the community this year and raising even more funds!

🚨 Earlier yesterday afternoon, crews responded to a vehicle that crashed into a home. Our crews worked quickly to secure the scene, stabilize the structure, and provide treatment and transport for the occupant.
Incidents like this are a good reminder to stay alert behind the wheel and always drive safely.
Great job by all personnel on a smooth and professional response.
