Department Profile |
The St. Charles Fire Department provides fire protection, technical
rescue, hazardous materials response, public education and advanced
emergency medical services to the citizens of St. Charles and to those
that visit our city. We remain ready to respond to and provide for a
whole host of other emergency and non-emergency incidents as well.
Since 1861, the fire department has been proud to be a member of our
ever growing and advancing city. As the city has progressed, so has
the St. Charles Fire Department. We were the first paramedic service
in the State of Missouri, established in 1974, and have grown to
include virtually all aspects of service and protection. As our city
continues to grow, and tourism continues to increase, we will remain
vigilant in our efforts to provide service without boundaries, provide
for compassion and integrity in all that we do and maintain the
courage to move forward.
