This team is labeled Ste. Genevieve County Firefighters but we welcome anyone and everyone!We had another fantastic training this week with some friends from our neighboring departments. Being able to rely on our fantastic mutual aid departments is not only a luxury, it’s absolutely essential. When we have a large incident we have to be able to work seamlessly with these departments and that’s what exactly what we are working to accomplish in this training.

If you’ve driven by the firehouse lately you might be wondering what’s going on and why did we take the letters off the front. We’re getting a paint job! Keeping a building such as ours painted and sealed not only keeps it aesthetically pleasing it’s important in helping maintain the longevity of the structure. It’s helps prevent the masonry and structural steel from deteriorating from exposure to Mother Nature.
Today, with the help of Sentinel Emergency Solutions we completed our annual pump testing. The pump testing puts all of our trucks through a stringent test to ensure they pump at their rated capacity. This also helps identify any issues so that they can be corrected before they are needed on a working fire. Thank you to our volunteers who gave up their day to make sure our fleet is ready to serve our community!
PR Request information:
SGFD is always happy to assist with PR events or standbys when we can. We are a unpaid volunteer fire department with limited resources and may not always be able to staff events due to manpower availability. Just like the citizens in our area we have full time jobs and family responsibilities that take up most of our time.
If you would like to request SGFD for PR events or standbys please call our fire house at 573-883-5321 at least 2 weeks prior with the date, time and event info. We will get back to you as soon as possible and let you know if we are able to attend.
Thank you!
