SERVE WITH PRIDE
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.
Last weekend SGFD hosted the regional class “Life on the Nozzle”. There were 25 firefighters from the east side of the state in attendance. We had members from Gerald-Rosebud Fire Protection District, Wolf Creek Fire Protection District, Cedar Hill Fire Protection District, Farmington Fire Department, Zell Volunteer Fire Department,Kinsey Volunteer Fire Department, St Mary Mo Fire department and Ozora Fire Department all with us. The class covered interior fire operations and fire attack. The class was taught by Local Emergency Training Specialists. SGFD had 5 in this class and 4 attending Fire Fighter 1&2 classes. Over a third of our department gave up their days off to train and make ourselves better prepared to serve you.
This weekend we change our clocks and celebrate spring by springing our clocks forward. Please remember smoke and carbon monoxide detectors don't last forever. If the are 10 years old or older they need to be replaced.![]()

Text message to 911 saves Crawford County boater's life ![]()
First responders say a text message to 911 saved a boater's life Sunday morning. The Sullivan Independent News reports that a 23-year-old man's boat capsized on the Meramec River at Sappington Bridge. The man tried calling 911 while clinging to a pie of logs. The call did not go through, so he sent a text message for help. Crawford County 911 Emergency Services got the text. Dispatchers sent rescue boats from the Sullivan Fire and Bourbon Fire Departments. They were able to reach the man. He was then treated by medical professionals. ![]()
