The Central County Fire & Rescue Protection District (CCFR) was organized in 1998 when the St. Peters and St. Charles Fire Protection Districts consolidated by a vote of the residents of both districts.
CCFR currently provides emergency services to approximately 90,000 residents in a 72-square-mile area.
Full-time Firefighters/Paramedics staff six stations 24/7. This group of passionate, well-trained, professional firefighters works with the community to keep residents, commerical buildings and drivers safe. Together with the community, CCFR has achieved one of the lowest commercial/industrial fire loss rates in the St. Louis metropolitan area.

- Responding to more than 7,000 calls for emergency services including building and vehicle fires, automatic alarms, automobile crashes and emergency medical responses.
