Ste Gen FD is looking for people who are interested in becoming volunteer members. For a member’s time and commitment we provide equipment and training in a motivating real world environment in order for you to gain an understanding, competence and receive certifications in firefighting. We accept applications throughout the year and bring new members at various times.
We hope everyone had a great weekend! SGFD was busy with 6 calls and a fireworks standby. 1 Carbon Monoxide detector, 1 smoke detector, 2 fire alarms, 1 commercial first alarm and 1 EMS assist.![]()
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be down by where they shoot off the fireworks? Here are a couple of pictures taken as the fireworks were being launched.
A couple of the best things about being a firefighter are: #1 you never know what the next call will bring until the pager goes off and #2 we can bring happiness to people in almost everything we do! Yesterday the tones dropped for and animal rescue. We arrived to find a small dog had fallen into a storm sewer. We were able to work with public works and retrieve the dog for the owner.
Just wanted to put a reminder out there. The fireworks originally scheduled for the July 4th celebration will be hosted in the Ste Genevieve City Park this Saturday evening around dark. Special thanks to the man that organizes this event. Thank you Gary Roth!

We would like to introduce you to our newest fire fighter. This is Kate. She has been with us now for a couple of months. She comes to us with her Mo State Firefighter Certifications. Kate graduated from high school this past spring before joining our department. Her goal is to become a career firefighter after getting her EMT/Paramedic schooling and license. Becoming a volunteer is a great way to get experience and build a resume!
